Genetic testing
- Question
- Our doctor suggested to me and my husband to get tested for 87% of CF mutations. If one of us is proved to be a carrier, then the test should be repeated covering 98% of the CF mutations. My question is if this kind of testing is safe, or should at least one of us be tested for 98% of the CF mutations.
- Answer
- Dear friend,
I agree with you. I would choose for you to be tested for 98% of the CF mutations. If the results are negative, your husband should be tested for the 87% of the CF mutations.
Best regards,
Dr. Doudounakis
