    hi Amber, thanks for replying! If she does have it it's probably a partially functioning one like mine (D1152h). People with two of those are typically diagnosed later in life. I was exhibiting symptoms by 29 because of my mother having two DelF508's, the combination results in atypical CF...

    Is there anyone else who has CF and had a parent that also had CF?

    Who can explain this mutation? Delta 508f/c.2274_2275delinsT

    Delta F508 means a "deletion" at F508. This is usually written F508del. https://www.cff.org/Care/Clinician-Resources/Mutation-Analysis-Program/ i would click that link and get in touch with someone at Johns Hopkins Genomics. I just searched several CF mutation databases and could not find...
