[FunusW]

Please can some one give me some information on the mutation F508del/L732X. My son has been diagnosed with CF at the age of 4 weeks. He is pancreatic insufficient. He is 7 months old today and has never been sick. I feel like I am waiting for the worst to happen.

this website will allow you to search the different genes and what they are associated with. It is information that is nice to have, but remember, your childs health is also determined by the amount of preventative care they have.

Hi. i don't know anything about the second mutation, my daughter has 2 deltaF508 mutations. I do know that while mutations play a role in how the cf symptoms present themselves, they don't mean you can determine the severity or overall outcome.
The best thing you can do is preventative care and keep him away from people who are sick.
I know, as I'm sure most here do, what it is like to wait for the worst to happen. But please try not to. My daughter is 19 months now (diagnosed at 6 days old) and has yet to have a cold. Others her age have been much sicker, but I wasted time waiting for the worst instead of just enjoying her and watching her grow. She has hit a few bumps with weight gain but has overcome those. Bumps in the road are bound to happen, but stay positive, advocate for your son and do whatever you can to help him.
If you need to talk or get advice, come to this site, private message me or ask the community. Everyone here is so helpful, they have been an amazing benefit to me and their advice has been invaluable.
Congrats on your baby! Enjoy this age!

Hi:

I'm male 70 years of age with CF. I understand that your son's dx seems like a death sentence but it is not.

I was a lifeguard on an Atlantic Ocean beach for five years and I played basketball in college (poorly but I played.

A cure is, in my opinion, very close and definatly in your son's lifetime.

I hope that you are taking him to a CF CENTER and not to a local Doctor.

Best of luck to you,

Bill
