My 2 1/2 year old has battled respiratory issues since birth. After a neg. sweat test and a negative small panel Genzyme test, we were considered negative. She has been diagnosed asthma for over 2 years with no improvement. After an 8 day hospital stay and NUMEROUS tests run, I was just told that her full panel DNA test done a few weeks ago came back indicating two copies of 1540 A > G , which I was told are two genes associated with CF. It is still non-conclusive, but my daughter's treatment plan just took a 180. They are treating her as though she has CF and we are continuing testing. I am to have her blood drawn for deletion/duplication??? she will be having a nasal potential test and a CT of her sinuses. We are starting Pulmozyne and the vest. Does anyone have any info about these genes???
Thanks!
