What are the possible genotypes of the parents with cystic fibrosis?

CF has many possible genotypes. There are currently about 100 markers that are most likely to result in the disease, but there are actually even more than that. I used to work for a company that did testing for this disease, and any two of the 100 markers would result in CF. There is a "most common" genotype, but there are many other combinations possible.
