Hey Bonniebaby,
Wow, what news. At least you're not wondering, which for me is the hardest part (about anything). If I can be of any help, let me know.
Good luck to you, please have a good support system and don't be freaked out by all of the info you'll read. Not everything will happen to you and it looks much scarier on paper.

I hope you are doing ok!

I am glad you finally "know" but am sorry to hear that you do have CF.


To Amy or anyone else that might know...
Bonniebaby showed that she has Delta F508 and 5T...my question is this...is 5T an actual mutation? I am not questioning her, I am asking because Cheyenne has 7T and a known mutation, her dr said the other one was unknown at this time.
Thanks

Hi Guys, my kids & I all have the 5T (TG12) which is a variant, not a mutation, the key is the 12 repeats (TG12) once that variant repeats that many times it behaves as a mutation and if you have another mutation you have CF. As far as the 7T or 9T ,everyone has either 5,7,9 T- the 7 &9 are most common and do not contribute to any weakening of the CFTR gene. This does not mean that you don'rt have another mutation on that chromosome. Very confusing, I got my info from Steve the Ambry guy. Hope it helps.
