it's a rare occurence ....</end quote></div>
yes but in my son's case... if he has CF it has to be mutations that only would appear in 1% of the population that has CF, which makes me a carrier of a very rare mutation and his father a carrier of a rare mutation too, that's the unlikeliness of it all...
Hoping they find a cure soon, maybe by gene therapy...

Right, but as you get to know this site more, you'll see that there are many people who have two rare mutations...... it happens.
I guess it's picked up more in the US then because we are able to be tested for 100% of known mutations due to our health insurance.
But in terms of people with common or rare CF genes, the majority of us don't have CF in our family. I wouldn't hang my hat on "my kid can't have CF because no one in my family has it" (not saying that you're saying that of course)

Hi:
We had no CF in our family either. We didn't even have previous cases of Asthma, which is what my son was dx with for the first 15 years of his life. That and sinus issues, along with some stomach issues.
I know what you mean about feeling guilty. I too feel it, but of course we cannot control which genes or mutations of them that our children get. My CFer has has rare mutations. It really stinks that a family can go many generations without CF rearing it's ugly head and them bam!
I do hope you get some answers for your son. I know it has made a huge difference in how my son feels now that he is being treated for what really ails him. Hang in there.
