Steph - since you were tested and found to be a carrier I would assume the D508 that your son has came from you. <b>IF</b> your son has CF he would have gotten a less common mutation from your husband since your hubby was tested and it didn't show one of the more common mutations. The test they gave your husband probably only covered a few mutations, but it definately would have covered the D508. In order to have CF you need two mutations and you get one from the Dad and one from the Mom - they can be the same mutation, but they could also be two different ones. I would say you have the odds on your side though if they are telling you only a 4% chance. Good luck and I hope they can get you answers ASAP.

Thanks Buckeye <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">. If I told you what we went through this pregnancy you would be shocked. But basically a really rare condition (neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia low platelets which helps clot blood) caused Chris to have a massive stroke while I was pregnant and it wasn't diagnosed till his birth. He was not supposed to live and if he did he would be in a vegatative state. They were wrong with the severity but his CT scan is a nightmare. he is a walking miracle now. He is 7 and loves Disney and does everything he wasn't expected to do.
Fastforward to last year and for 5 years we were pained with deciding on if it was fair to have another child since the risk of happening again is 100% but with treatment they can prevent stroke 60-90%. So we got pregnant and started treatment. Jason was born early with low plateltes but no stroke. He spent 14 days in the NICU and came home and we thought we were in the clear.
During a blood test they screened me for Cf when I was preggo. I came up as a carrier and they tested Dh and told us we would be ok. Now the screen comes back bad <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
So I may be over reacting but the NAIT is 1% of the population so these CF odds even though they are small scare the you know what out of me.
Thanks for the response. It helps me a lot to read about everyone.

I thing you should be less worried. And by less I mean almost zero. We had our 2 month son with positive screening. The pediatrician said "I do not know much about CF but this is only a screening so please do not go on the internet and freak out." Needless to say I went on the internet and I freaked out. Anyway ... our son had one copy of D508 and IRT of 150. That put him at 1 in 500 probability of having CF. The sweat test at 3 weeks came negative (Glory be to GOD!!!!!). The amount of sweat was 3 times the minimum and the two samples were close 10 and 12 so they reported the average of 11. I was told this is clearly negative. So in your case the probability of CF is about 1 in 1000 to 1 in 1500 which definitely is less then 4% but not even close to it.
My advice is to relax and get the sweat test when recommended and enjoy the new baby. One it is extremely unlikely to have CF and two there is nothing you can do anyway.

Thanks so much for posting this. I have been a wreck. I went to the OB the other day and got all of the screening results from when I was pregnant. I have the 508 and that is what DS got. My Dh had a screen of 97 mutations and had none. So it was explained to me our risks are .03% that Jason will have CF because of my husband testing negative on those 97. It still has me over analyzing everything! His poop, his nose being stuffed up, yada yada. My husand is a wreck because I am crazy worried.
Thanks so much it does help me to think more rational when I read stories like yours. I will find out Tuesday when the sweat test will be done :0)

I thing you should be less worried. And by less I mean almost zero. We had our 2 month son with positive screening. The pediatrician said "I do not know much about CF but this is only a screening so please do not go on the internet and freak out." Needless to say I went on the internet and I freaked out. Anyway ... our son had one copy of D508 and IRT of 150. That put him at 1 in 500 probability of having CF. The sweat test at 3 weeks came negative (Glory be to GOD!!!!!). The amount of sweat was 3 times the minimum and the two samples were close 10 and 12 so they reported the average of 11. I was told this is clearly negative. So in your case the probability of CF is about 1 in 1000 to 1 in 1500 which definitely is less then 4% but not even close to it.
My advice is to relax and get the sweat test when recommended and enjoy the new baby. One it is extremely unlikely to have CF and two there is nothing you can do anyway.</end quote>
Thanks so much for posting this. I have been a wreck. I went to the OB the other day and got all of the screening results from when I was pregnant. I have the 508 and that is what DS got. My Dh had a screen of 97 mutations and had none. So it was explained to me our risks are .03% that Jason will have CF because of my husband testing negative on those 97. It still has me over analyzing everything! His poop, his nose being stuffed up, yada yada. My husand is a wreck because I am crazy worried.
Thanks so much it does help me to think more rational when I read stories like yours. I will find out Tuesday when the sweat test will be done :0)
