DF508 carrier
- Question
- I am the mother of a 2,5 years old daughter. We know that she is a carrier of the DF508 mutation, as am I. My husband has been screened and is not a carrier for all the known mutations. Should I be worried about something? She attends kindergarten for the first time this year and has a runny nose all the time. Till she started attending she never had anything, except for otitis once.
Thank you!
- Answer
- Dear friend,
You must not be alarmed. This runny nose incidents are due to the fact that your daughter goes to the kindergarten for the first time on a regular basis and is exposed to viral infections. You have reduced the possibility for the child to have CF to a very large extent, so that such a thing is almost impossible.
Yours friendly,
Dr. Stavros Doudounakis
