Our son was diagnosed when he was about a week old. Born with meconium illeus. The surgeons indicated that based on his symptoms, he most likely had CF. And basic genetic blood tests came thru a few days later indicating he did in fact have cf.

No family history and both sides of the family have very extensive geneologies that go back hundreds of years.

It's my understanding that sometimes newborn screenings can indicate possible CF; however, usually more extensive testing is conducted.
