The Results are out...

As you may recall, I posted on my fb Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/392256720827792/, that Kyle was being tested to see if he is a carrier of Cystis Fibrosis. 

We received the results today. We are both relieved and thankful to the Lord for this Blessing.

Here is the letter I received.

Dear NiQi

My apologies for e-mailing these results & not waiting for our consultation but as the results are good news & I know that you & Kyle are both anxious about the results, I thought that I’d give them to you before our next appointment.

Kyle DOES NOT have any of the 30 common South African CF causing mutations. This reduces his risk of being a carrier of a CF gene to 1 in 200 (compared to the general SA Caucasian population of 1 in 20). This then reduces your risk as a couple of having a baby with CF to 1 in 400. If you were ever to have you own biological child, that child would always be a carrier for CF (i.e. have one gene from you)

The only way that your baby could have CF is if Kyle carries one of the rarer CF mutations less common to the South African Caucasian population.

We’ll discuss this further at your next appointment. Please make a list of any questions that you have.

Regards
