Is there a cystic fibrosis gene? Is it possible that I am guilty for my baby's disease? I gave birth to my son less than 2 days ago and already they found that something is wrong with him. They talked of inherited cystic fibrosis which, I know at least that, means that either one or both parents are responsible.

There is a cystic fibrosis gene. I am sorry to say it like this; bad the prognosis for your child is not that good. It doesn't have to mean that parents are responsible; perhaps a mutation of the gene caused it. You must not blame yourself; it will only make things harder that they already are.
