something I saw in CF roundtable today (Autumn 2005) on page 33:
"Cystic Fibrosis Twin and Sibling Genetic Modifier Study.
This reesarch is beind one to find the genes and other factors that re responsible for variation among persons with CF. We are interested in twins and siblings because they share similar genes and a similar environment. We want to know why twins and cibiings with the same CFTR mutations have very different diseases..... Participation in this study is on a stricly volunteer basis. Patients will not be compensated for their participation. If youand your sibling would like to participate, feel free to contact us at 1-866-245-8065 and visit our website at <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/cftwinstudy/">http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/cftwinstudy/</a> "
