CFTR is an autosomal recessive gene. This means that you must inherit two defective genes, one from each parent, to have cystic fibrosis. A carrier of cystic fibrosis has one CFTR defective gene. A carrier of cystic fibrosis does not present with any symptoms of the condition, but he can pass on one defective gene to his offspring.
