<br>CysticlyFIT, I think those guys were just kidding, I wouldn't say anyone actually cares about names. They were just making a fun remark, nothing serious!! I just noticed I have the same genotype as you! I'm also an avid-sports gal...although not as much since I started working after college but still managing something sweaty at least 4-5 times a week! I'm gonna pm you cos I would be interested to know the little quirks we might share. It seems a pretty rare one! I found one article published from an Italian hospital that reported on 3 patients homozygous for 1717-1g-A and they all had little respiratory involvement. I know I was pure digestive (just needing enzymes) until I was about 17/18, that was my first chest infection. Anyway GO VERTEX! I say regular little prayers to God for this one...PLEEEEEASE bring us something that will really make a difference, please!!!
