Wow, this is a popular thread. My wife is a Df508 carrier with symptoms of cf. She has had an amplified Ambry and a negative sweat test. She cultured MAC about 2 years ago and has had sinus problems ever since I've known her. She is treated by a pulmonologist and they can't figure out why she has all of this but no cf. She is very thin and seems as though she has malabsorbsion issues. She coughs and spits alot. I'm pretty sure that she has been tested for all the other diseases mentioned above.</end quote></div>

Just a note that I had a negative amplified panel at 14yo and left with the 'just asthma' song and dance, then 7 years later when I was back I was dx by symptoms, then 2-3 years later another amplified panel WAS able to pick up my second mutation. There are more being 'found' every day, just keep that in the back of your mind.
