Abstract

![CDATA[We report on 8 years experience working in a multidisciplinary setting with the Paediatric Respiratory Team at John Hunter Children’s Hospital to confirm the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance (CFTR) mutations in all affected paediatric patients. This information is essential for cascade testing in the family, reproductive decision making for the proband and relatives and has relevance for clinical care and therapeutic trials. The availability of sequencing of the CFTR gene in the clinical setting has impacted on the genetic services available and the role of the genetic counsellor. The genetic testing service at Hunter Genetics is a specialty area coordinated by a genetic counsellor in an autonomous role.]]
