Hi,
i am g551d and r553x, from central europe, g551d should be celtic mutation, r553x german ?
25, cf, digestive insufficient, lung middle problems</end quote></div>
hmmmmm now thats interesting because my dad and his family are from Germany and my grandparents on my moms side were from Europe. and I have the R553x</end quote></div>
Yea, that's very interesting! I too am delta f508 and r553x, and my grandfather on my father's side came from Germany, my last name is actually Whorms - from a town in Germany I believe. My father nor mother has ever been tested to see who carries what. Well the funny thing is my father has once disowned me claiming he's been tested and he doesn't carry the gene and apparently he knows that there's no others in the family that has had CF so my mother was doing something she shouldn't have been doing....looong story, needless to say me and my father don't speak anymore and haven't for a few years, now that I have a little bit of confirmation it would be interesting to see him REALLY get tested or better yet see the results of this test he claims he's done!
Anyway, I'm 24 (25 in February), no CFRD, I too, Diane, have B. Cepacia, and weight training is my life - I hope to compete in another body building competition coming in April
