I second that " wow"

Wouldn't it be fantastic if this was the cure that has been long awaited...

I know when I was first diagnosed 33 years ago the cure was just around the corner but still eluded the men in white....and each year a new breakthrough is announced....

I know a cure will have no effect on us oldies or those of us with foreign body parts....but it would be awesome to see CF stand for "cure found"!!!!

we've had many threads about this on this board the past couple of weeks.

this med is only for about 5-10% of CF patients who have nonsense mutations....

Then it's fantastic news for 5-10% of CF patients...I wouldn't be calling myself 'only' if it was me who benefits from the treatment...or you.

Any progress is good, don't you think?...we should be stoked if they completely cure ONE person, shouldn't we?.

I never said it wasn't good.

"Only" refers to a few amount. The number of CF patients. 5-10% is a small amount. That's all I was saying.

The title of your thread "new drug may cure genetic disorders" is a bit misleading...and so is the article if you don't read it fully.

And you can see how it's misleading by the responses to the other thread on this exact same article that was posted a week ago.
