My CF docs sent my blood to be tested at Mayo clinic for "full gene testing" and said it was the same as Ambry. Anybody hear anything like this?

I am unsure of the difference but if you go to the families section ambry sponsors it (I believe) and you can ask him the question.

I go to Mayo in Roch MN, and when we did testing for my husband they sent it off. I think it has to do with the number of mutations they can check for, Ambry checks for over a 1,000. I could be wrong but that is my best guess. This was two years ago, so things might have changed.

Since a doc already told you that you may have a variant, you need to find out if the Mayo clinic does what (I think) is called gene sequencing to identify variants such as T5. Ambry is great, I called when I got my results and was able to speak directly with a geneticist to ask questions. Maybe they can give you advice on how to go about getting the full panel if it turns out that Mayo was not the right way to go and you are left with no answers.

Another justification for doing the testing is that if you do have a variant that in other people has caused CF, even though you are not sick you could pass it to your children. This is important to know if your spouse is a carrier- you'd have a 25 or 50 percent chance of conceiving a CF baby.
