<br />In your state, if IRT is elevated it's followed up with a genetic test. He is, of course, a carrier since he has inherited one of your mutations so it would be sure to find at least one. Now is the time to find out the exact results of his screen and if any other mutations were found. I have trouble believing a 2nd would have been identified and never followed up on, but stranger things have happened and you need to be sure. In any case, regardless of the findings, due to everything going on w/him a more comprehensive genetic test sounds like a good idea (i.e. Ambry testing.)
