Guest guest Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Didn't I read something about some sort of newborn testing they could do for CF that involved levels of something in the blood? (As opposed to the DNA testing.) My sister is getting induced tomorrow, and we want to quietly tell the docs to test for it, without scaring the heck out of my sister. Her husband tested negative for carrier status with the 25 most common mutations, but that still leaves a 10% chance that he could be a carrier, and we'd none of us rather take the chance of catching it late if little " Giddy " ends up having CF. (Although it's unlikely, it's still possible.) If someone could tell me what it was or if I was just imagining it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Shanna mom of Triana, age 2 wcf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
