I forgot to add....can someone tell me exactly how the CF genes work? Do the same families carry the same mutation? For example, do 2 siblings have the same mutations? I had posted earlier that my husband's 2 cousins carry the DF508 and R117H mutations. Would my son likely have 1 of these...

Thanks jmom for the stool test information. I actually had read the same thing re: the fecal elastase test sensitivity this past week. Not so encouraging. We have not had a fecal fat done and that will be next on my list if the elastase comes back normal. May I ask what children's hospital...

Heather, I should have said they found no mutations. The test also stated they found no dysfunction in the CFTR gene. With that said (and you mom experts probably already know this), the CF mutation database reports that the CFTR gene is so large that it is impossible to analyze 100%. I have...

So I have been reading this site for the past 3.5 months now and everyone seems to be so helpful that I decided to join, even though we do not have a CF dx. So our story goes...our almost 4 month old had 2 elevated IRT levels at birth. We went for a sweat test @ 3 weeks old and results were 13 &...
