Cannot find gene class

just googled it and it's a nonsense mutation and is one of the top 31 most common CF genes.

i know this isn't what you're asking but i'll keep searching

Hi Rhubarb,

I have CF and I have the DF508/V520F genotype.
I'm 34 years old and have about 40% lung function.
I had meconium ileus when I was born and am pancreatic insufficient so have to take enzymes.

According to the publication below, The V520F mutation is a class III mutation (similar to G551D).
So the V520f mutation may respond to VX770 similarly to G551D.
My fingers are certainly crossed.

EDIT: New information shows kalydeco/ivacaftor monotherapy has no effect on V520F. Which sucks...
