I have a friend who's child was just tested the result came back normal or no cf. But it showed 37 with a status of SIN, what does that mean?

Thanks for your help.

When I had my son tested this year, they said that he had to be at least 60 to be considered to have CF. I'm not sure what the other thing means.

I've never heard of the 'SIN' thing before so I don't know what that stands for. That wasn't mentioned on any of the kids' sweat tests here and we've had positive (Emily, twice), borderline (Shawn, twice) and negative (Tim) results here.

I know it's often been posted but just wanted to point out that many people with cf have sweat test results lower than 60. Borderline results (which go either way) are between 40-60, and esp with babies some drs feel the cutoff should be even lower. Results always have to be considered combined with results from genetic testing and symptoms when making a dx.

Hi Ann,

Did you post this question in Newly Diagnosed section ? I would pose this question to Steve Keiles of Ambry Genetics ..

If you dont get the answer there, then I would ask the Genetic counselor at your CF center..
