I was speeking with my husbands cousin the other day we finally found out which side of my husbands family it comes from. BUT, its not the same mutation as what my son has. Dylan carries the R117H and Delta F508 was diagnosed within my husbands family.
So we could possible have 2 mutations one from each of us. Dylan was negative for the Delta 508 but I found out that Ambry must run a full panel to make sure that mutation doesnt show up in our other kids. All this genetic mumbo jumbo is very hard to understand. But I think they need to look at my husband gene panel to find out if he carries the 508 or not. They didnt run a full panel on us because they only new the one. That would determine if my other children will have any chance of having both mutations.
Is it more common for CFers to have more then one mutation??
PS. He had his first glucous tolorence test yesterday. Still waiting on the results.
