Re: pft/genetics questions/JULIE W.

As of today they have identified 1,006 mutations at s Hopkins

University: the testing can be done for some bucks by Amby, Quest

Diagnostics, even Cellmark--of course she has unidentified genes--

because they have not tested for enough! Drives me nuts; I am sure it

does you, too. Hang in there; sounds like the pft's are ok; unless you

print out the individual details for us, it is impossible to comment, though,

except for the fact that the FV1 is very significant. Dumb gene

ticist; sounds like the one who told me that I had only the one for con

genital absence of the vas deferens--I am female!!!! Full testing found

not merely two mutations, but fragments of a third! Sweat chloride was

over 150! One now knows why we and our kids are called " patients. "

Love to you and your child,
