    Test Result - Does this rule out CF?

    Ditto what everyone else said. Also, check into primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). With PCD, the patient's cilia either is dysfunctional or missing. THe end result is that mucous and debris become trapped in the airways causing infection and scarring. Very different cause but similiar...

    Nervously Waiting for Results

    Have they tested you for primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD)? If not, if a full sequencing genetic test comes back negative for CF, I'd request a cilia biopsy to rule out PCD. Chronic sinusitis and bronchiecstasis are also signs of PCD. Just to reiterate though, if the genetic testing you've...

    False Positive Asymptomatic

    Well, the thing that strikes me is that even if she has one copy of f508c (which sounds possible but not likely), she did have a <b>positive sweat test</b>. AND, she did have symptoms that while, yes, could be related to the CMV virus, also are easily explained by CF. If it were my child, I'd...

    hello again

    Welcome back! How are the boys doing? I hope well. 40 lbs is great!! Mine barely weighed that at 6... How about you? Any new news on your testing for CF? Did you get the Ambry test yet? I'm sorry about the PPD diagnosis but I hope the extra help works!
