-DEB A RE: CF in Familes

[Guest guest]

Deb,

Now they know they are carriers are their partners going to get tested?

Out of 4 kids in my family I am the only carrier. Roll of the dice I

think.

CF in Familes

I thought this was interesting. There is 7 kids in my family and with

having

2 kids with CF I have been bugging my sibling to get test to see if they

are

gene carriers. Well one of my sister who is pregnant right now and due

in Dec

found out she is a carrier of CF she was totally surprise. I just found

out

yesterday that my youngest sister is also a carrier of CF and is also

pregnant. I

really think my family though that I was the only one that was going to

be a

carrier. The two that found out they are were very surprise!!! Now I

have to

work on the others to get tested. Deb A

I have two children, one has cf and the other is a carrier. Not very good

odds, huh!

My daughter that is a carrier was tested during the same time that we found

out my youngest daughter had cf. My son-in-law had genetic testing done

before they were married. He is not a carrier. Of the known genes anyway.

He is a carrier of something we just haven't figured it out yet. HAHA

It is always better to know. Your dealing from strength and not weakness

then.
