Sitting here in tears and am shocked (update)

Well I just found out that my clinic once again is a mess.

As you can tell by this thread I was told that my genes were diff than what I had always believed to be true.

Now my clinic is telling me that my gentic results are back and I am

DF508 Homozygous

So from what I can gather that means that I am DDF508 like I thought all along. Man I am so pissed at my clinic right now! They cant seem to get things straight!!!!

I thought about that too.
But I dont know which results to trust now. I dont even know if it was my chart either time they gave me the answers.

If they haven't made so many mistakes lately I would say maybe it is the labs fault but I am not so sure.

Dr. Shapiro gave me the copy of my test. I just looked at mine. It says :Homozygous positive for the delta F508 mutation. There were 25 mutations were analyzed in the test, including four polymorphisms. I have no idea what all this means, I guess I don't really care, since we aren't having kids.

Maybe you can call the lab or records department directly to get a copy???

When clinics order testing for partners, which do they do - most common mutations or the fullest panel possible .... or something else?</end quote></div>

When we were trying to get pregnant we paid for my hubby to have the Ambry test (cost us $450 I think since we paid in cash) because we felt it was important to screen for the most mutations considering our kids will already be carriers. DH is not a carrier.

Khristina - Sorry that your clinic screwed up <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> If you thought you were misled by your mom consider this - my parents didn't tell me I had CF till I was 14 even though I was diagnosed as an infant. Apparently my mom was in denial since I was always so healthy. I always knew my brother had CF since he was diagnosed at birth due to my CF status (he was 3.5 years younger than me). Crazy huh. I felt betrayed for a while but I am over it now. And I always thought I was Double DF508 though I don't know where I got that info. Turns out I am DF508 and M1101R. Ambry ID'd the other gene a few years ago when I volunteered for some study before they went public with their CF mutation test.
