IVF/PGD is Ivitro fertilization with preimpantation genetic diagnosis. They cand test the empbryos befor they are implanted to determine CF. Here's a link

As the others have said, you are totally right here. My daughter's mutations were supposedly "good" ones to have (not the doctor's term though btw). She was expected to have minimal concern for a long time, but our first year wasn't a breeze by any means. And regardless, two mutations means CF, so we do treatments and meds the same as any other CFer. I hope your sister can find an option that is workable for her family!!! Good luck!

There is never a 100% guarantee in anything you do related to CF and IVF/PGD that will ensure a child without CF. I know a family who has a DD with CF. They did IVF with PGD last year to "ensure" a child without CF. They know what their mutations are, easily identifiable... Their twins were born about 2 months ago. One of their new babies HAS CF. After PGD and everything. So, there are NO guarantees.

But to answer your question, YES, waht you told them is right. There are "nonsense" mutations that can potentially have a lesser effect on the overall person. But then again, they are still doing research regarding mutations and degrees of CF. Some siblings in the same family (who will then have the same mutations) have varying degrees of CF.

In my opinion it is irresponsible of your sister to think this way and she should really furthe educate herself before she makes a choice like that. Now, if she's educated and understands and still makes the choice, that is her choice, and not irresponsible in my opinion (to each his own I say), but she should really get all the information before making a choice.

PGD is usually successful. The success rate varies by center. Unfortunately, PGD is very expensive and not covered by insurance (currently).
