Your neighbors' baby girl has just been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis and they have been told that this is an autosomal recessive disorder. They have one child who does not have cys-tic fibrosis
They ask you if their older child, a boy, could have children with cystic fibrosis. What is your best response? A. "Because CF is an autosomal recessive disorder and your older child does not have the disease himself, his children would only be affected if he had children with a woman who has CF." B. "Because he is a boy and it is your daughter who has CF, he has no risk of passing the problem on to his children." C. "Because you and your husband are carriers, your son may or may not be a carrier also. If he is a carrier and his wife is also a carrier, it is possible for them to have a child with CF." D. "Because your son may have one CF gene, it is possible for him to father a child with CF. When he is older, he can find out his CF gene status and risk for passing on the disorder."
