    New mutations being found all the time?

    Karenmichelle~ if you genetically test positive and have symptoms, then yes a CF dx is made. Those two factors are pretty solid when it comes to dx'ing CF in the vast majority of the CF population. When it comes to a small subset of the CF population with 'positive' test results, other...

    There is a point there. However, I think there are pretty serious ethical, moral and societal concerns involved when someone on death row ends up languishing in prison for the better part of a couple decades before finally being put to death as well. I think organ harvesting should be the...

    New mutations being found all the time?

    I absolutely agree with mom2owen. The only way they can determine the significance of certain gene changes is by tracking the people that have them to see how they present. Certain gene combinations that in past years used to be considered benign are now known to be disease causing. So...

    New mutations being found all the time?

    When it comes to there being more mutations being 'found' all the time... Ambry doesn't 'look for' any specific set of mutations. They sequence the entire gene to catch any abnormality that may be there. Someone can get the test done several times, and unless Ambry changes how they do the...
