That's a lot of !!!!!!! I can definately see your passion.....

Did you get a genetic test for CF genes? If she has two CF genes, then she has CF.... end of story.

Sweat tests are a bit old-school and aren't as accurate as DNA tests.

I would suggest getting a Full Panel Ambry CF genetic test... that way you will know for sure.

She might have the symptoms of CF, but often if a doctor has a genetic panel done and it doesnt show both mutations that is where they leave it. Given the sweat tests result I would push for the extended, amplified genetic panel thru Ambry Genetics. My guess is that she has another mutation that is more rare. We have people that even waited a few years after having 1 gene found with no sign of the other.....they go back to have another genetic test done when they have discovered more mutations and BINGO they found the other mutation by then. PUSH for the additional testing of the mutations......sweat test will only do so much!!!

Let me get this straight: Ambry preformed genetic testing on both you and your daughter. They found that you had two CF mutations one of which is very rare and so it is not known if it is disease causing or not. You though do NOT have symptoms of CF, right??? (it is possible that if you have two CF mutations and that your daughter has the very rare mutation you also have they are assuming that your daughter will be asymptomatic like you since you have the same mutation but no disease.)

Are they currently saying that your daughter has CF or are they currently saying your daughter DOES NOT have CF?

Your daughter does have CF symptoms though? Did they find two CF mutations when they preformed genetic testing on your daughter or did they just find one mutation?
What was your daughter's sweat chloride number?

Is your husband a known carrier as well? What genes did they find when they tested you and your daughter? And if your husband was tested what genes did they find in his case?
