I was curious also about this so I just posted a question for Steve on the Ambry thread to see if he knew the answer. I wonder if they just test for DF508 anyhow or more mutations than that???

Pam,

If you have an amnio for any other reason, CF is not routinely ordered unless discussed with the patient. If they do CF testing it depends on why, it is possible they would only look for the two mutations carried by the parents, or it is possible to just do a panel of mutations, but it is also possible to do the Ambry Test which is often performed for certain indications.
