A circle represents a female.
A square represents a male.
A horizontal line connecting a male and female represents a marriage.
A vertical line and a bracket connect the parents to their children.
A half-shaded circle or square indicates that a person is a carrier of the trait.
A completely shaded circle or square indicates that a person expresses the trait.
A circle or square that is not shaded indicates that a person neither expresses the trait nor is a carrier of the trait.

Chromosome # 7
CFTR gene
The most common allele that causes cystic fibrosis is missing 3 DNA bases. As a result, the amino acid phenylalanine is missing from the CFTR protein.
Normal CFTR is a chloride ion channel in cell membranes. Abnormal CFTR cannot be transported to the cell membrane.
The cells in the person’s airways are unable to transport chloride ions. As a result, the airways become clogged with a thick mucus.
