testing family members for cf or cf carrier state

[Guest guest]

I think that this is really important; and I think that even in the

days when the disease was diagnosed solely on clinical presentation,

as the medical world is so fond of saying, that an early diagnosis

saved lives and warned family members with suspicious indicators of

the disease. I posted a couple of years ago about how ALL of us in

our clan decided, after the death of an undiagnosed youth who was

positive for cf, to ALL, including those with cf and their parents,

if living, to be dna tested. What a sociological study! Very in

formative. Found out a lot else about our genetic make-up as well,

so it cannot be anything but helpful medically to really know!

Love to all at cfparents,
