Once doctors at National Jewish determined I had MAC plus bronchiectasis, they did a sweat test which was "intermediate". Genetic testing confirmed CF. There are many mutations and not all cause disease. I have one of the less common mutations.

I also had an "intermediate" sweat test and then genetic testing of ninety something mutations which were all negative. Do you know how many mutations were tested for when they picked up the less common mutation?
