FAQ

What are the symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis?

Common symptoms include persistent cough, frequent lung infections, wheezing or shortness of breath, poor growth, and greasy, bulky stools. Symptoms can vary in severity and type among different individuals.

What could happen if Cystic Fibrosis is not diagnosed?

Undiagnosed or untreated CF can lead to severe respiratory and digestive problems, including chronic lung infections, progressive lung damage, nutritional deficiencies, and reduced life expectancy.

What does a positive result indicate?

A positive result indicates the presence of the Delta F508 mutation in the CFTR gene, suggesting a diagnosis of CF or identifying a carrier of the mutation.

What is the significance of being a carrier of the CFTR mutation?

Carriers often do not have symptoms but have a chance of passing the mutation to their children. If both parents are carriers, there’s a 25% chance with each pregnancy of having a child with CF.

How can knowing your CFTR mutation status be beneficial?

Early diagnosis and intervention in CF can improve quality of life and life expectancy. For carriers, it provides vital information for family planning.

Is Cystic Fibrosis curable?

There is currently no cure for CF, but treatment advancements have significantly improved the quality of life and life expectancy for individuals with the condition.

How is Cystic Fibrosis treated?

Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preventing complications. It includes chest physiotherapy, medications to thin mucus, antibiotics for infections, pancreatic enzyme supplements for digestion, and nutritional support. Newer treatments target the underlying cause of CF in those with specific genetic mutations.

Why is early diagnosis of CF important?

Early diagnosis allows for the start of treatment and management strategies, which can help reduce complications, improve quality of life, and extend lifespan.

Cystic Fibrosis - CFTR (Delta F508 Mutation) Test in Mehsana

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the Cystic Fibrosis - CFTR (Delta F508 Mutation) Test in Mehsana, a specific genetic test for detecting the most common mutation associated with Cystic Fibrosis.

Overview of the Cystic Fibrosis - CFTR (Delta F508 Mutation) Test

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs and digestive system. It causes the production of thick, sticky mucus, which can clog airways and trap bacteria, leading to repeated lung infections and lung damage. It also affects the pancreas, impeding the release of digestive enzymes. The Delta F508 mutation in the CFTR gene is the most common cause of CF. The Cystic Fibrosis - CFTR (Delta F508 Mutation) Test in Mehsana helps diagnose CF or identify mutation carriers.

The methodologies used for testing the CFTR (Delta F508 Mutation), specifically for Cystic Fibrosis, typically include:

  • Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): PCR is used to amplify the specific segment of DNA containing the CFTR gene, making it easier to analyse for mutations like Delta F508.
  • DNA Sequencing: Once the specific DNA segment is amplified, DNA sequencing, such as Sanger sequencing, is employed to read the genetic code at the location of the Delta F508 mutation, confirming its presence or absence.

Why and When is the Cystic Fibrosis - CFTR (Delta F508 Mutation) Test Done?

This test is crucial for:

  • Individuals with symptoms suggestive of Cystic Fibrosis, like persistent lung infections and pancreatic insufficiency.
  • Newborn screening for CF.
  • Couples with a family history of CF are considering having children.
  • Family members of a person diagnosed with CF to determine carrier status.

Cystic Fibrosis - CFTR (Delta F508 Mutation) Test: Main Highlights

  • Instructions: No special fasting is required. A doctor’s prescription is necessary.
  • Recommended Age: Suitable for individuals of all ages, from newborns to adults.
  • Sample Type for Test: Typically, a blood sample is collected in an EDTA tube.
  • TAT: Results are generally available within 1-2 weeks.
