Carrier couple and pregancy_2
We are a couple, both of us carriers of CF mutations (Leu732x & DF508). The results of the amniocentesis (at 17 weeks of gestation) showed that the embryo will have CF. How grave is the combination of these two mutations for the life expectancy of the embryo and the course of the disease?

Carrier couple and pregancy_1
I am a carrier of the Leu732x CF mutation and my husband carries the DF508 one after being tested for 95% of mutations. The amniocentesis was positive for CF in the embryo and the pregnancy (normal conception) was terminated. All test were done at Horemion Laboratory. How severe would have been the disease? If after an IVF a new pregnancy commences, how much positive will the detection of the two mutations in the embryo be? Will we have to do as well an amniocentesis or trophoblast testing for CF?

Cystic Fibrosis deltaF508/deltaF508
Hello. I am "host family" and I look after a 12 years old CF girl. On her annual assessment, I could read: mutations delta F508 /delta F508. What does it mean? I know that there are several CF. Could you tell me if she belongs to those who have "moderate form", so to speak? Her treatment is: 8 to 10 creon/day, 4 Toco /week, 3 urlsolvans/day, 2 capsules of salt/ day, and pulmozyme every morning. Thank you very much for your reply. Cordially.

vertex 770 and r347p
Dear team, my daugther CF has got mutation r347p (class IV). I red that vertex 770 could work on r117h (class IV too). Is the defect of conductance caused by r347p similat to the defect caused by r117h? Is it probable that vertex 770 can work also for r347p? In case it works for r117h, will it be possible to have vertex off label for my daugther and, in general, for patients with class IV mutations other than r117h? Thank you! a.
