Prliminary amnio results!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I just got off the phone with the genetic counselor and have received some news.

She spoke with Genzyme and has gotten a preliminary result for the CF testing on

the baby.

They say that, thus far he is definitely at least a carrier, but they can only

find one mutation. They will double check the result against 's result

when they finish her test and see if he has the less common mutation that

also carries. But so far they think he might only be a carrier. We are not

getting our hopes up just yet though since, the comparison has not been done,

but at least we have now seen some progress toward an answer. We are hopeful

though, since the second mutation should be found with the test that they are

using.............

Genzyme's test only looks for 78 mutations. It did find the most

common of our son's mutations but it wasn't until we had the Ambry

test done that it found the second rare mutation clinching the

diagnosis.

Jan,

The current one tests for 85, and they found both of 's when they were

only testing for 70. So, they should be able to find The second one if it is

there......we hope.
