Carrier screening results

Question
I am currently pregnant, and in a blood test screening for 99.8% of CFTR gene mutations, the results state:

Summary of Results
No pathogenic or potentially pathogenic variants were detected in the CFTR gene.

No deletions/duplications were detected.

PolyT and TG regions (intron 9): 7T/5T, TG12/TG11.

The genotype for the -12T variant in intron 9 is 7T/5T, and for the -34TG variant, it is TG12/TG11.

Questions:
Based on these results, is there a possibility that the child will have cystic fibrosis at birth?

Should the father also be tested?
Answer
Based on the results you have, you are not considered a carrier of a pathogenic cystic fibrosis variant.

There is no need for your partner to be tested.
