My son had 3 positive sweat tests and one borderline teat. They did the genetic testing but can not find and mutations. What does this mean?? I am so confused. The doctor said he has CF but now what do I think??

Stacey,
Do you know what lab genetic test was sent to? Was the blood work sent looking for all CF mutations? I know when my daughter was tested, they sent it to genzyme and was only tested for the 97 most common; which her 2 mutations are. However, there are over 1500 CF mutations to look for. Keep in mind; before they found the CF mutation; the sweat test was the "gold standard" for diagnosing in conjuction with patient symptoms.

Excellent point on the genetic test.
What symptoms does your child have that led to him getting the sweat tests? If he has symptoms consistent with CF combined with a positive sweat test, odds are the doctor is correct.
Negative results on a sweat test when you really do have cf is a lot more common than having a positive result w/o having cf (especially since he's had so many of them.)
