I might as well be honest, that comment p*ssed me off. My daughter has delta F508. It is the most common mutation so when the day comes when they can find a cure for CF, need I say any more?<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

remember if they ever find a cure it will most likely be for this one as it's the most common. for that reason alone i'm glad joe has this particular mutation .</end quote></div>


if a cure is found via gene therapy, it doesn't matter which mutations you have because the whole CFTR gene will be inserted.

If you get pissed off that easily, you're not going to like this - you're wrong!<img src="i/expressions/devil.gif" border="0">

Allie can speak to this better than I can, but researchers are closer to correcting just one Class of CF genes...

since each class has a different defect, some are easier to correc than others. and delta F 508 isn't in the class that's closest to being corrected.

That is incorrect. As stated in my last post, gene therapy involves inserting a new functional CFTR gene, so it DOESN'T matter which mutations (or classes of mutation) you have.
