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?

Which mutation has more need for therapy?
Dear expert team, my son (4 years, CF) has the following known mutations: delF508 (inherited by me) and on the other allele R1070Q-S466X. The R1070Q is a missense mutation, the S466X is a nonsense mutation. In case of this rare combination, a marked pancreatic insufficiency has to be expected, ...

Mutation update?
In the year 2003 my genotype had been confirmed to be compound-heterozygous for the mutations DF508 and 405+1G->A. At that time, about 1300 mutations were known. Today the number is about over 2000. Would it be sensibel to have a new mutation update done after 10 years? It seems to be ...
