Anyone with mutation V562L?

Hello, I am relatively new to this site.  My husband has CF and we recently found out that I am a carrier of V562L.  No one knows anything about this mutation.  I can only find one article about a young boy with a mild case of CF, but his other mutation is not known (at least when the article was published).  Does anyone know anything about this mutation? I would greatly appreciate any information.<br>

I am sorry I do not know about your mutation. However, I am very interested in finding out how your husband is doing. My grandson, who is almost 4, has the exact mutations that your husband has. That is a very rare combination with only about 30-40 people in the U.S. who have that combo. Please let me know as I worry about my grandson and have done some research on his mutations. Since so few have them, I have learned little. My grandson is pancreatic sufficient and has had no problems yet. Thank you so much and I hope you can find out about your own mutation.

Sandy, <br><br>My husband is remarkably "healthy" for a CF patient, such a blessing.  He was diagnosed at the age of 17 and has led a very normal life.  His physician has told him that he has a mild case and should expect to live a normal lifespan.  Thankfully, he has never been hospitalized by a exacerbation.<br><br>I know every CF patient is different.  I hope this helps.  I'd be happy to answer any other questions.  God bless!<br>

No, Bill, unfortunately not.  I've seen your postings in the past and noticed you have V562I.  My husband as well as our genetic counselor have both called Ambry to confirm that I am a carrier of V562L and not V562I.  Although, there is not a lot of information out there, I've been able to find more information on I instead of L.  Thanks for responding.  It's a true inspiration to see your age and know that your a CF patient.<br>

My husband is 33.  No, he has never been hospitalized for a pulmonary exacerbation.  He has been hospitalized 3 times for pancreatitis.  <br><br>No, we do not have children.  We've had an extremely difficult time adopting (domestic and international).  My husband's CF team wrote a fantastic letter about him and his prognosis.  We still, however; have had so many programs deny us because of his diagnosis of CF.  We have started looking into trying to pregnant, but recently learned that I am a CF carrier.  I'm trying everything in power to learn about my mutation, V562L, to try to make the best decision possible.<br><br>I hope this helps.  Good luck to you and your son.<br>
