Negative gene sequencing and negative sweat test
Can you rule out cystic fibrosis with a negative gene sequencing and a negative sweat test? Is the sequencing reliable and able to rule out the disease in a child? Thank you very much

Monozygote twin - CF testing
Without any history of CF in our families, we decided for my husband to get tested for 89% of the CF mutations. Given the fact that he has a monozygote twin, who does not have children yet, we believe that, due to almost identical DNA, the genetic testing will cover him as well. Is this true? Can ...

genetic testing
I wish to have a second child. I was tested for 90% of the CF mutations and I was found to be heterozygote for c.443T>C. I do not carry any other mutations. Can I start trying to have a child, or must my husband get tested as well. There is no family history. Thank you!

Non pathogenic polymorphisms
My husband was tested for 89& of the CF mutations and no pathogenic mutation was detected. However, three non pathogenic polymorphisms were detected. Why are they in the report, since they do not cause CF? What is their role?
