Service Description

PCR-Hybridization Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease caused by two mutated copies of a gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). CF carriers have one mutated copy of CFTR. If one copy is mutated, you are a CF carrier and most carriers do not usually exhibit the genetic disease. If both copies of CFTR are mutated, you have CF. People with CF have higher risk of persistent lung infections and makes it difficult to breathe. While primarily affecting the lungs, it can also impact the digestive system, including the pancreas, liver, intestines, and kidneys. CF may also affect the ears, nose and sinuses, sex organs, and the bones and joints. Sample: BLOOD Results: 2 WEEKS Phlebotomy fee: Included in price
