r560t mutation
- Thread starter anonymous
- Start date
My daughter, age 26, has the same two mutations. I also do not know much. The R560T, I think, is pretty uncommon. My niece, age 33, was just diagnosed w/ mild CF. She has the R560T and T5 and only has sinus problems. My daughter was diagnosed at 3 months of age as a failure to thrive baby. The digestive problems were the first to surface. All in all, she is doing okay and works 3-4 days per week as an accountant. She's married and very active physically, going to the gym almost every day. My best to you and your child.Kerry
Hi,
My son will turn 1 year old on Jan.8/05. He was dx w/ D508 & R560T. My dr. gave me a little print out of a search done on R560T. It basically said that it is for the most part found in Ireland. Not very common. Both of these mutations are considered "severe" because they both cause pancreatic insufficiency.
I'm really excited to see someone with a little boy close to my son's age that has the same mutations. Hunter (my son) almost died before they figured out he had CF. He had severe reflux that now seems to be under control but we haven't taken him off the Prevacid yet. His liver got pretty bad, but he's been on Ursodiol for it and it's slowly coming back to normal. I think his liver problems and spleen problems were caused from "CMV" that he caught while at the hospital. Did your son have any liver or spleen problems or reflux? Email me if you want to share any info or want someone to talk to that's going through the same thing.

Hi Rebekah and NeedaI see you both posted re gene mutations some years ago!!! I have just joined this forum today.
My daughter (almost 8yrs old) has delta F508 and R560t 'combo' as well. She was diagnosed at 4.5years.
Would love to be in contact with you both. Rebekah, I too live in New Zealand so that makes 2 now. I am in Auckland.

Hi Anthea - Nice to *meet* you! I am always on the look out for other cf friends, and R560T is rare so I'm always excited to see others with Hunter's mutations. You can find me on facebook: Nedda Dayley
