A member asked:
Could you and your partner have to carry the same mutation of cf?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing question: There are tests to define the mutation carried by asymptomatic CF carriers.The majority carry the same mutation, delta f508, but there are many others. The variation on different possible pairings is felt responsible for differing expression of CF patterns.
