Okay remember a while back I posted about my sister thinking that if she had a rare or not a bad mutation then if her baby was to have CF it wouldnt be bad CF?
Okay well my sister got her papers back about her and her husbands mutations and she called and told me that her mutation is G542X which is exactly my mutation too, which I figure since both my mutations are G542X then it would make sense for my sis to have the same one too, so if my brother is a carrier then his would be G542X too! I thought that was cool, I guess I never thought that my sis would have the same mutation as me but seeing my parents both have identical mutations then of course she would have the same one too!
For her husband he has the DeltaF508 mutation which we all know is the most common mutation for those with CF.
Well, my sis really wants another kid, I can tell, and I wouldnt be surprised if she goes ahead with having another kid. I told her she can get a dna test to see whose dna's mutation is the dominate or recessive gene, cause if they knew that then if only one gene is dominent and the other recessive then she wont have any kids with CF at least I think, my husband understands and knows more about the recessive and dominent genes and how they work.
Any who thought Id share that with you guys, I think she understands now that it doesnt matter if you have a good mutation or not CF affects people differently and that it progresses differently too! I think I know what she is talking about now too, I think she was talking about the dominent and recessive genes. Man I hope that last part didnt confuse anyone.
