Sweat Test Results

[paugh22]

Many of you should recognize me on the boards by now. My son was diagnosed with CF right after he was born last year. I immediatly had my other 3 children tested thru sweat tests. I was told the same day by Max's CF coordinator that they were all negative. Now, i was never given any numbers. I hope this isnt a dumb question, Im still fairly new to this but: Wouldnt it show up clearly if they had CF since Max double of the most common mutation? They would have to have the same common mutations, right? Same two parents and all. None of them show any symptoms and never have but its still in the back of my mind all the time. Im assuming that my two children with allergies are carriers and my child with nothing is not but who knows.
thanks for helping!

Even with the same gene pair, CF can manifest itself differently for each person. Yes, chances are with a double delta f508 that your other kids would have some symptoms, but not necessarily. Personally, I would want to know for sure. The df508 only genetic test isn't very expensive and you'll know pretty quickly if they are carriers, have CF or nothing. Our doctors didn't sweat test my other kids, they ran their genetics for the two mutations my daughter has. It felt more complete to me.

I'd have the genetic test done. Especially since you know the gene you are looking for. It would be helpful to know which children are carriers, etc. It's something they will have to consider when they are grown up and starting families of their own.
