Thanks. That makes sense. When/if Aidan decides to have kids, I know that his partner would have to get the full mutation panel and still there would be a slight risk...From what we've been told, they are still finding new CF genes. They could always use PGD as well if needed.

Patti,
It´s a 50% chance. If the father has cf ,he will always pass one cf gene to the child, the other gene (mother´s one) can be a cf gene (then the child will hava cf) or a no cf gene (50% chances), in this last case the child will be a carrier.
Although 3 out of 4 genes are affected by cf, you cannot pass both of the father´s ones together, you will have one gene from each parent that´s why it´s a 50% chance.
Sorry if I didn´t explained this very well, but english is my second language <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">.
By the way could you tell me how many mutations was your husband tested for?. I was tested by ambry (1500 mutations) and they told me the chance of being a carrier and testing negative would be 1/2500. By the way I tested negative!!! So happy!!!

It does help...thank you. I have never been good with biology!! As for how many mutations Nate was tested for...I'm not sure. I just know that I was told that there was still a 1/900 chance that Brady would still have CF even though Nate was negative for a carrier.
