Gene Screen

My son just had a gene screen done and, according to his pulminologist, it is the most intensive gene screen available and would detect any mutations. My question is this, if it came back negative, how much of a possibility is there that he could still have CF? I don't know all the stats on mutations and such but have seen on a couple of websites where the statistics show only 80 - 90% certainty even with a gene screen. I appreciate any help or advice you can provide! Thanks in advance!
