: Personally I would be wanting a proper diagnosis so the treatment could be aimed for exactly what I had... (just me anyway)
: It's all well and good to treat the symptoms, but to get a proper diagnosis could mean the treatment plan could be better, with potentially less hospitalisations and less days off, less fatigue etc etc
: so if given the option I would take it...

At this point,except for the one mutation that they just started being able to treat for, we all are being treated for our symptoms. The mutation we have does not effect out treatment. It is based on presentation and our treatment teams past experence. So as much as I may be interested in knowing I have a double copy of Delta F 508 that does not have any bearing on my treatment. So at some point it may be helpful but right now for the vast majority of us it means very little.
