My 10 month old little girl, Boston has heterozygous mutations: DDF508 & R553X. She was diagnosed via the Metabolic Screening that CF was added to a few years back. They do this Metabolic Screening when the babies are 48 hrs old in the hospital. We were called by our pediatrician when she was 11 days old ona Fridayand were told this Met Screen was just "suggestive of" CF. They already had our appt. set @ the CF center @ Riley Hospital in Indianapolis for the following Monday. We met the team and went to the lab for the dreaded sweat test... which came back very positive (even only being 2 wks old). She's too young for PFTs right now.
Hope all is well as it can be for you and your husband! Boston and I will add him to our nightly prayers<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I'm neither....was wondering...what % of the CF population has neither? And do we know anything about people without D508?? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> All my doctors have ever said was that I was "unusual" for a CF patient.

DS diagnosed when he was about 6 days old due to meconium illeus.

Friend of mine's daughter was diagnosed at age 18 months old.

And another friend with two children -- one diagnosed thru newborn screening, so they tested his 3 year old sister who also had CF.

Another friend of mine is 40, had a double lung transplant 10 years ago. Was diagnosed as a toddler.
