Cystic Fibrosis Expanded Panel

This is an expanded mutation panel of 70 mutations for cystic fibrosis for diagnostic testing; especially for testing in those persons whose family history or ethnicity requires testing for less common mutations.

Cystic fibrosis is a common genetic disorder resulting in chronic pulmonary, gastrointestinal and pancreatic disease. There is wide variability in clinical symptoms. CF is inherited in a recessive manner, which means that both parents must be carriers to have an affected child. When both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy that the child will be affected.

Genetic counseling and CF molecular testing are recommended for the reproductive partners and at-risk family members of CF carriers.
