I have been reading, and it uniformly says that a person has to inherit two genes, a copy from both parents, in order to have CF. So, my son has the 5t mutation, and we are waiting for the results from the Ambry Amplified to come back which, more than likely will show a CF mutation (I'm trying...

Steven, My son is 7, and last week, we got the result for the first test done by Ambry where he came back with some mutation called 5t. I'm confused as to whether that is in fact, a CF mutation. My pulmonologist (she is out of UNC-CH) sent in blood for the amplified test that tests against...

My son cultured PA and first they tried levaquin and when it was done, there was still some left, so now he is on Tobi and Cipro. He started the first Tobi last night. Since he has been wheezing, we have to do albuterol first and then the Tobi since Tobi can cause some bronchiospasms. He is...

Also, how is your son? He was diagnoses at age 11? What were some of the things he went through before getting a diagnosis? Was his sweat test positive?

Hi Tonya, Thank you for the info. Yes, UNC peds has been excellent. With all of the issues ds has had over the years, it wasn't until we had to find a new ENT (our was Dr. Cook, who was in the accident with the ballerina) that we were referred to UNC and he was the first person to ask if we...

My son's sweat test was 16, I think. Not even borderline. What they found was a genetic mutation called the 5T allele, which from what I am reading, on its own means nothing. But that, paired with another CF mutation will lead to a mild form of CF. So, we are waiting for the Ambry Amplified...

Thank you for the replies. Beans mom...have they diagnosed her? My son is growing normally and doesn't have any pancreatic insufficiency that we know. But, I guess if there is a diagnosis once the tests come back, they will probably test him. Kathy, wow, what a story. What made you get...
