It means that if she has children with a man who is also a carrier, than their children have a chance of having CF. It also means that her children may also become carriers even if they don't have CF. If she has children with a man who is not a carrier, then her children won't have CF but may still be carriers.

This means that you don't have Cystic fibrosis, but is in one of your genes. Meaning that if you marry someone without Cystic Fibrosis, or someone that is not carrying the gene, then that means that their is a 1:4 ratio of your baby getting from you. This is because the woman generally has an XX chromosome, and is CF (cystic fibrosis) affects your baby and its a girl, she probably won't have it because she can still survive healthy with the other x chromosome. If the baby is a boy, than he will have an XY chromosomes. If the CF affects the X chromosome, than your baby will have CF. If your partner has CF or if he carries it, that means that your baby will definitely get Cystic Fibrosis.

Her husand must also be a carrier for the children to have cystic fibrosis. If he does, then 25%chance of having CF, 50% being carrier, 25% of having none of the genes. If husband doesn't, then the most that will happen is the child will be a carrier.

If she carries the gene, it doesn't mean she has CF, but it does mean that she could pass it off to her child. CF is a recessive gene, so in order to have a child with CF, the father would have to carry the gene as well. A genetic counselor can do tests for a couple so that they could have an idea before conceiving on what chances they would have to have a baby with CF.

that you have the possiblity to pass this on to your children if you choose to have any. I believe (I may be wrong) that it takes both parents having the gene for the child to have it...then if you use genetics you would have a 50% chance that your child would not have CF but carry the gene, a 25% chance your child will have CF and a 25% chance that your child will not have nor carry the CF gene!! Its all a gambling chance.....

If both her and her husband carry the gene, their children will have a 50% chance of having CF.
