my 4 yr old girl is getting a sweat chloride test because her allergies and asthma are getting difficult to control despite lots of daily meds, with symptoms pointing to CF and a desire to improve her quality of life we need to find out. Her symptoms mainly involve RESP, but include GI and ENT. If her sweat chloride results are normal, which test should we request next? should i take her to a pulmonologist or pursue genetic testing?? Advice greatly appreciated!

Hi AJ. I agree with Nicole. We are seeing more and more people diagnosed with CF from the full-panel DNA test, even though their sweat test numbers were in the normal/borderline range.
If I were you, I'd request the DNA test be sent to Ambry Genetics. They have a representative who helps us out here on the site. His name is Steve. Ambry has been very helpful and compassionate in my experience with them.
Let us know what you find out from the sweat test.
