The aims of the present study were to determine the level of genetic knowledge of parents with a child with cystic fibrosis; to determine the impact of the birth of a child with cystic fibrosis upon subsequent reproductive choices and to investigate family communication about genetic risk. A qualitative approach was selected as it aims to understand, attempts to make sense of and provides descriptions that portray the richness and complexity of ordinary events from the perspective of the participants. 2014-07-28T14:52:37Z 2014-07-28T14:52:37Z 2007 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3103 eng application/pdf Division of Human Genetics Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town
