Guest guest Posted May 3, 2001 Report Share Posted May 3, 2001 Hello everyone... My name is Jane. I am very glad to have found this list as we are still in the " numb " stage here as we continue the diagnosis process. My youngest child is 19 months old and wasn't gaining weight. She also has asthma so we went for a sweat test. The result came out borderline so we went back at did another test which came out much lower but they also took blood for a genetic screen. I got the results of that screen today. They looked for the top 30 mutations (of the 900 possible CF ones) and found she had one of these. Now apparently they start the search for the second gene using my and my husband's DNA also. The clincher here is that 2 days before we had the results of the first sweat test, I found out I was expecting another baby. So the stress level is a little high 'round here. We are back at the CF clinic next week and will talk to the geneticist about the siuation. Has anyone else had such a confusing time trying to get a diagnosis? I thought CF would be fairly clear cut to detect. Thanks, Jane, wife of Tom, mom of wocf, Tony wocf, wocf, Meredith wocf, Eleanora maybe wcf and one on the way.
