@vagheesh I don't know, how strong do you think selection against IBD has been in the distant past? (It's a disease whose prevalence has recently increased substantially). Plus, CFTR heterozygotes have higher risk for many conditions, particularly male infertility:

Young male cancer survivors (esp. testicular, thyroid, melanoma) are at approximately 10x greater risk of death by suicide in the aftermath of their treatment. Infertility, chronic pain, disfigurement, identity problems, and education/career interruption all contributors.
