< Never took sweat test.>
Apparently, your Pulminologist didn't think the Cystic Fibrosis Sweat Chloride Test was necessary in your case.
That is interesting to know as it seems that you have to receive the Cystic Fibrosis Sweat Chloride Test in order to receive the CFTR gene test.
< Had Invitae genetic testing for CF>
Per chance do you know if you received the Invitae Cystic Fibrosis Test Test code: 04714 1 gene or the Cystic Fibrosis, CFTR Gene, Variant Panel, Varies - This test includes targeted testing to evaluate over 500 genetic variants including 23 disease-causing?
I have received genetic Invitae panels testing for Connective Tissue Disorders and Immunological Deficiencies.
Thank you for your reply.

@vipp The test ordered by immunologist was for the latter of the CF tests you describe in addition to some other unrelated panels. Had I gone to an in the know pulmonologist they would have tested for CF but I did not find a bronchiectasis-knowledgeable pulmonary doctor until later.
