Significance

Cystic fibrosis (CF) carriers are at increased risk for most of the conditions that commonly occur in people with CF.

Given that there are more than 10 million CF carriers in the United States alone, the morbidity attributable to the CF carrier state is likely substantial. Thus, identifying CF carriers may aid in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of several common and uncommon disorders.
