Hi,
I am new to this forum having stumbled upon it via another forum. While looking at past posts regarding gene mutations, I noticed a post from the mother of a child with the 3659DelC mutation, which is one of mine. I have never come across another person sharing this muation, other than my brother. This child lived in Australia and I live in Canada. We both could possibly have ancestors from England(I know I do). I also carry the P67L mutation, which I have never encountered in anyone else except my brother. Research did show it amy be of Swedish origin and could contribute to chronic pancreatitis, a symptom both my brother and I share. Just interested in seeing if there is anyone on this forum that carries either of these mutations and also what their symptoms may be. I have both lung and pancreatic involvement as well as problems with DIOS. I am supposedly pancreatic sufficient, although vitamin testing shows all my fat soluble vitamin levels are low so I don't really absorb fats all that well. Also, I have osteoporosis and lately am having early CFRD type blood results. I am 48 - soon to be 49, retired because of my health and with a lung function of about 43% of predicted. Normal weight but suffer pancreatitis almost every six weeks. Looking forward to sharing with others who may share my mutations or symptoms.
