A member asked:

I have a cystic fibrosis mutation that showed no symptoms for 15 years, or since birth. is it possible for symptoms to develop now or in the future?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confusing post: An estimated 1/26 Caucasians in the US carry at least one CF mutation. Other ethnic groups have a separate carrier status. Your post does not cite your real status, as a carrier of one or two of the dozen or so genetic mistakes that can be involved in CF. Without clarifying your status, it is impossible to give a clear answer. You are welcome to start over.
