Hi Denise One other thing to ask would be how many people don't have relatives with CF, and to specify how far out on their family trees they should consider. If you count two people with relatives having CF but have no idea how many people read the question, that could be 2 out of 10,000 or 2 out of 40. 2 out of 10,000 probably isn't significant, but 2 out of 40 probably is. If you go out to our 20th cousins, odds could be pretty high there is someone with CF in almost everyone's family, just due to large sample size. Of course, most people probably don't know much about anyone beyond their third cousins. You still won't get perfect results because a lot of people just won't answer, but they'll be a lot more meaningful than finding just those that do have relatives with CF. -A On Tue, 30 Nov 2004 04:42:50 -0800, Denise Figliozzi <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > >Hi all, > > > >I'm starting to wonder about both of these diseases.

I've also posted this question to my CF list-serv group. So far, 2 other people with CF have a family member with PD.
