She was caught by the expanded California newborn screening, which (rather amazingly!) did a full genetic sequencing for us to find her second very rare mutation. If she had been born 10 years ago, we'd have no clue and be happily living in ignorance right now. But knowing means we can be proactive about her healthcare, and that if she starts to develop symptoms we'll know what to do -- pancreatitis is something she is at risk for as a pancreatic sufficient CFer, so if she (God forbid!) ends up in the hospital like your daughter has, we'll know why, and that will help a lot.
