CF carrier state
- Question
- If among family members of a CF patient single symptoms characteristic for CF are present, can one assume, that they are carriers? In other words - should the genetical testing be suggested to these family members, even distant relatives?
- Answer
- Dear Questioner,
Family members of a patient with genetically and clinically confirmed diagnosis of CF might also undergo diagnostic genetical testing.
