Hello there.... did you ever read my comment last year? It must have been Dec 31st 2011 or beginning of January 2012. About S1251N? My son (6 years old, doing excellent!) has the same mutation. Did you know Vertex 770 (or Kalydeco) will most most most probably work for this mutation? In the lab it works better on S1251N than it does on G551D..... I tried to reach you last year, but couldn't get through..... let me know if you want to know more.
Mason was born 8.26.10 and has been lighting up our every waking moment since. He was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, a chronic life long, life shorting, fatal genetic disease, at just 3 weeks of age. It is an invisible disease that you can't see from the outside, but one that is clogging up mostly his digestive system (making it hard to digest and absorb nutrients) and respiratory system (making him fight for every breath), but also other organs. There is no cure as of yet, but we are hopeful for that to happen in his lifetime. CF is only one part of him. We have high hopes and dreams that he will become anything he sets his heart to.
