New Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Diagnosis at 73

I have suspected for many years that I have CF, but no doc would dX it. But now, at 81 years, I have found a bucket full of genes which relate to CF, in one way or another, around a hundred or so I think. I have not counted them. All but a few of them are Dominant. CF seems to be a rage in gene fashion shows now. Anyway, hang in there.

@oldkarl Curious about the genes that you are specifically referring to. I have found that there is a relationship with mutations in the FADS1 and FADS2 genes relating to fatty acid synthesis that are related to CF conditions.
