Respiratory function - thoracic distension
Here is my question : I recently realized pulmonary function tests which showed increased residual volume and total lung capacity (RV=180% et TLC= 132%). I have never smoked but have had quite frequently a dry cough without expectoration for many years. Could you help me understand these results. How can a so big thoracic distension be explained? Thank you for your answer. Have a nice day.

Can the new drugs (Vertex) only used with F508del homozygous or would that also be possible with F508del and IVS8T5? Can one tell exactly from the genes or through a test (e.g. blood) what our son's "protein problem" is? Many thanks.
