Well not everything is 100% genetic... but:

My dad has Parkinson's (and related dementia)
My grandfather had Alzheimer's
My sister has a genetic clotting disorder called Von Willebrand's (it's kind of an offshoot of hemophilia)

We've had several cancers in the family (uterus in my grandmother, prostate in my grandfather, brain in my uncle, I think breast in my grandma) I may be forgetting some cancers, I'm not sure.

I think that's all. I have a pretty big family and our genes suck so I may be forgetting someone, but that's all I can get for now.

Oh!! And I'm the only one with CF, in the whole family. My sister doesn't even carry it.

I have mild scoliosis, and heart disease runs in my family. Other than that, nothing I know of.

Lisa,
Wow! I am a CF and a genetic counselor, and I must say you would make an interesting patient. CF is all that is known to be in my family, and out of about 45 second degrees relatives, I am the only one who has CF. Un"luck" of the draw!
