Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Four years ago when the twins were dx wcf, I was told they each one d508 and an unknown. After reading the past emails, I again questioned the cf clinic about the unknown. They said the unknown hadn't been identified. Should the DNA show more than this? , mom of Adam and Alec (both wcf & 5) , Chase 15 ncf and Chance 12 ncf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Hi mom of twins, My daughter also has 1 df 508 and 1 unknown, they have not done any more testing on her since she had this genetic test done in May of 1997. For a while the docs at the center we changed to were trying to undiagnose her, but they believe she has cf for sure now. They thought she looked too healthy and she hadn't been sick enough to have cf, but in the meantime she has had pneumonia and cultured stenotrophomonas <SP??> maltophilia, staph and psuedomonas and she has had 3 sinus surgeries. So they figure she just has one of the unknown mutations, they haven't tested her again to see if they could find out what it is. Let me know if they find out what your twins are, do they have any mild symptoms or do they have " severe " symptoms. They thought my daughter's symptoms were too mild for her to have cf when we first changed cf centers. love, The Other , not mom of twins or triplets but just 2 kids Nick age 19 nocf and age 17 wcf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
