My mentor Alfie Krol taught me that at minimum we should counsel patients with aquagenic wrinkling about the possibility that they may be a CF carrier. I do each time, and offer to refer to genetics. I've had a couple of parents choose to have their children tested, and both have been negative for CF mutations.<br />2. I also think counseling the patient and family is important. If there is a pertinent medical history of the condition in the family, the genetic testing seems to be reasonable, otherwise careful observation with symptomatic treatment seems to be appropriate.
