What causes differences in the severity of Cystic Fibrosis? - what is cystic fibrosis more condition_symptoms
I have two identical twin girls (they are 16), cystic fibrosis, have always been in the same environment, but they appear on two different levels of severity of cystic fibrosis, one of my twins is very ill and often had a lot to spend many infections time in hospital is significantly lower lung function, need a feeding tube and will need a lung transplant in time, s not my other daughter "sick and have a lot and has always been much stronger. What really makes a difference because they identical twins are?

What Is Cystic Fibrosis More Condition_symptoms What Causes Differences In The Severity Of Cystic Fibrosis?

Different mutations of the disease may play a role in this area. This can not be excluded in the response. For example, I have cystic fibrosis, it is my G551D mutation, and I am currently engaged in a study with 2 people in my CF center (ca. 80-120) expect to stop in the United States and even my middle of the 5 People have this mutation. I'm in the lung function of approximately 50% (was) very good for me, but spent much time at 40%. To participate in this study had lung function more than 40% and stable. A girl can not participate because it is under his rule, and one child in 90 years can not participate because he is doing great! I think, well known that cystic fibrosis is still poorly understood, and not everything is not about them. Every day there are new therapies developed to make life better. Now I'm much healthier than my older sister, the CF! I have not been sick for almost a year, which is surprising for me because for about 3 years, I always had intravenous therapy every 3 to 4 months for approximately 2 months at a time.

My little son, aged 4, has cystic fibrosis is not in the hospital for over a year, although he is now on antibiotics a little cold, he is very happy with the lung problems, but problems with digestion, and the recurrence of colon cancer , which is difficult to find it at London's Royal before the surgery, hip solves this problem completely from the colon, which is a normal size for his age, very active and happy child and the best we can hope, with this disease, the love xxxxx ride4lif
That is the question of $ 64,000. This is a good question, and we do not really know the answer.
He gives an example of how the genotype does not always predict the phenotype.
My CF patients often tell me they have the worst of mutation, but their lung function is excellent, and they are as healthy as I am.
One theory is that there are modifier genes that do not know very much about this issue or how to enable or disable. If we knew would be a cure for cancer to have. This is probably why one twin may experience more symptoms than the other.
