OK The first panel which I was told looks for 87 mutations came back and shows that my son has the Delta F508 mutation. The woman said it will be 2 more weeks before the rest of the tests come back, but felt that the likelihood of my son having CF was slim. He is probably just a carrier. Has...

Hi Steve, We went to CHOP in Philly. We had the sweat tests done there, also. We have been waiting almost three weeks now for the genetic results. I hope it is not much longer!! Thanks for your response and I will let you know when we hear something. Tizzy

The Cf center sent my sons blood samples to Genzyme. How is their testing different than Ambrys? Should I be concerned that it will not be accurate? Thanks, Tizzy

Was wondering if it makes a difference who does the genetic sscreening? The CF center sent my sons blood to Genzyme to be tested. They assured me they tested for all of the mutations that Ambry does. The results should be back any day now. The waiting is excruciating! Thanks for any help.

Thank you. You are kind. And kind words are so appreciated right now. How long does it take until the results of the ambry testing are available?
