I agree with everyone else - find out which test was done. Ambry and Quest Diagnostics are the only two labs that I know of that do the complete gene analysis. Also, both have much less comprehensive tests, too, so it's important to know exactly which test was done. Last thing, there are still some unidentified mutations so it's possible to have CF with no mutations found (although rare). If you're not already at an accredited CF clinic, I'd ask for a referral ASAP. Good luck!!
