The CF carrier test costs about $200 $300 per person. You need to check with your own insurance company to see if they will pay.
Genetic testing may be used to look for carriers of mutated CFTR genes and to screen relatives of people who have cystic fibrosis. Genetic testing looks at your DNA from a blood or saliva sample or cells from the inside of your cheek. Genetic testing can tell you whether you are a carrier of a mutated CFTR gene.
Prenatal diagnostic tests to detect CF and other disorders include amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS). Amniocentesis usually is done between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy, but it also can be done up until you give birth. A very thin needle is used to take a small sample of amniotic fluid for testing.
In many provinces, early diagnosis of cystic fibrosis happens through newborn screening programs. Shortly after a baby is born, a small blood sample is taken from the babys heel. The blood sample is sent to a laboratory, where it is screened for a number of different health conditions.
Once parents have had a child with CF, they have a 1 in 4 chance that each additional child will be born with CF. This means there is a 3 out of 4 chance that additional children wont have CF.

Your healthcare provider or a genetic counselor will discuss your test results with you and help you understand what they mean. If your test result is positive, it says you are a carrier of the CF gene. The result is more than 99% accurate. A negative result is not as accurate.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in CFTR, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene.
Diagnosing CF is a multistep process. A complete diagnostic evaluation should include a newborn screening, a sweat chloride test, a genetic or carrier test, and a clinical evaluation at a CF Foundation-accredited care center.
