Thanks Harriet. Yes my daughter is very aware that if she should decide that this fellow is "the one", that they both need to be tested. She's 39 and may not end up having a family so it may not be an issue, but I still keep my fingers crossed that she will find the right man for her (after 9...

Thanks Heather. I guess I just thought if my hubby and I get tested, then we will know whether to let my side of the family know, or his. Rather than making everyone concerned! Ironically, our daughter has just begun dating a fellow who has a cousin with CF.

Our Molly has Delta F508 (apparently the most common Caucasian gene) and W1281x (or 2X??) - apparently the most common Jewish gene. Interesting, since we don't know of any Jewish background in any of the families. This is especially hard for us, as our son and his family are in New Zealand...

Dana and Heather, thank you. Yes, that clears it up nicely. Is there any reason for us to be tested, perhaps to let other family members know of the risk? (We are long past having any more family ourselves ...!!!) Colleen

Our 4 week old granddaughter's CF diagnosis was confirmed today. I have been reading some of the websites but have a very basic question. I understand that to have full blown CF, both parents must be carriers. My question is: if my son is a carrier, are both my husband and I carriers? Or can...
