This test measures the amount of salt (sodium chloride) to skin perspiration. Individuals with cystic fibrosis have a high level of salt in their sweat.<\/p>\n

B) Genetic testing:<\/strong> Genetic testing is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. This involves a smear taken through the mouth from the inner surface of the cheek or from peripheral blood sample by performing molecular tests for detecting mutations of the gene of Cystic Fibrosis.<\/p>\n

The most usual molecular test<\/strong> involves the detection of the most frequent mutation (DF508) covering 54% of cystic fibrosis carriers of Greek population. At an increased cost, a more detailed examination may check 36 mutations of the cystic fibrosis gene that covers 74% of the Greek population or even more extended investigations covering 85% of the mutations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column]\n\t
