I am 79 years old with CF. I was dx at age 47. I won't waste your time, I believe that you could have CF. You need to be seen at an APPROVED CYSTIC FIBROSIS CLINIC by a CF SPECIALIST. If you live...
My understanding is different. There are almost 2000 known mutations. New born screens for the most common 32. As you need additional screenings, your insurance will first allow 250 then 500, etc....
Newborn screening in most states is for ONLY 32 mutations. There are almost 2000 mutations (all on the same gene). You need an appointment at an APPOVED CYSTIC FIBROSIS CLINIC with a CF SPECIALIST.
Meggy,
It is one thing to go to an approved CF Clinic but you also need to see a CF specialist at that clinic. For example, Massachusetts General Hospital has more than 3000 Doctors but less...

It certainly seems like something that needs to be checked out. Her Doctor suspects CF but what is he/her doing to find a proper Dx. Your daughter needs to be seen at an APPROVED CYSTIC FIBROSIS...
I would have him retested but only at an APPROVED CF CLINIC by a CF SPECIALIST.
God bless you Ken. You are a trailblazer

Sorry Call your CF Doctor

NO CF son; I was not "late onset". I had symptoms (that I am aware of) at age 3. I had symptoms right up to my dx, including 2 surgeries that would be CF RELATED NOW.

I have Delta F508 and V562I. V562I is a mild and rare mutation, only found in seven families in Northern Ireland. January 19 is my birthday and I will be 78. I have 2 college...
Stella: I was diagnosed at age 47 so being dx at their ages and without symptoms is really a good thing.
