From the cff!.org website:
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease!. That means people inherit it from their parents through genes (or DNA), which also determine a lot of other characteristics including height, hair color and eye color!. Genes, found in the nucleus of all the body's cells, control cell function by serving as the blueprint for the production of proteins!.

The defective gene that is responsible for causing cystic fibrosis is on chromosome 7!. To have cystic fibrosis, a person must inherit two copies of the defective CF gene
