Help me understand??

Heather I agree completely.

I also think it's irresponsible for a doctor to forecast how these drugs will work when no controlled studies have been done.

Theories are fine, but definitive talk no matter who you are, can be very misleading.

Also you have to remember that these drugs are only treating certain mutations, so you may only be treating 1/2 your mutation thus you will still need to do the same CF stuff for the other 1/2 of mutations (if that made any sense)

IF these drugs work, you only need to have one "treatable" mutation - in essence, you would become a CF carrier.

Example...if you are heterozygous delta 508 (i.e., you carry 508 and any of the other 1000+ mutations), VX-809 could potentially treat 508, thus making you a CF carrier. It wouldn't matter what your other mutation is.....
