    Can somebody tell me...

    TerriC: I think that you misunderstood my post. She knows that her DD is Double Delta F508. She dosen't know what having 1 or 2 mutations means. Her child, like all CF Patients, deserves to get the best care available. That care is at an APPROVED CF CENTER by an CF SPECIALIST. Bill

    Will VX809/770 be effective in reducing mucous production?

    If that combination "corrects" a mutation and that mutation begins to work correctly, it will remove mucus as it would in any CARRIER. Basically it will "turn" a CF patient into a CARRIER. Bill

    He NEEDS to be seen at an APPROVED CF CENTER by an CF SPECIALIST. He NEEDS to have a FULL CF SEQUENCING done. I'm not joking when I say his life is in the balance. Bill
