4.127 Cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a lung disorder that often results in death. It is inherited but can be inherited only if both parents are carriers of an abnormal gene. In 1989, the CF gene that is abnormal in carriers of cystic fibrosis was
identified. The probability that a randomly chosen person of European ancestry carries an abnormal CF gene is 1/25. (The probability is less in other ethnic groups.) The CF20m test detects most but not all harmful mutations of the CF gene. The test is positive for 90% of people who are carriers. It is (ignoring human error) never positive for people who are not carriers. Jason tests positive. What is the probability that he is a carrier?
