There is no known cystic fibrosis or CFTR carrier result among my biological relatives.

My biological family history is unknown or too incomplete to assess.

A biological relative is a known CFTR carrier, or a more distant relative has cystic fibrosis.

A parent, sibling, or child has cystic fibrosis, or both of my biological parents are known CFTR carriers.

I do not have recurring unexplained abdominal discomfort.

I occasionally have mild discomfort that settles and has an apparent food-related cause.

The documented screen did not flag cystic fibrosis, and no follow-up was advised.

I do not know the result, or screening was not available to me.

The result was unclear, showed one CFTR variant, or led to follow-up that was not fully explained.

The screen was reported as abnormal or positive, but confirmatory evaluation was never completed.

I have not had a recurring or persistent cough.

I have had a short-lived cough with a cold that cleared as expected.

A wet or mucus-producing cough keeps returning or lasts longer than expected.

I repeatedly wheeze, become breathless with routine activity, or take unusually long to recover.

I become breathless at rest, cannot speak comfortably because of breathing, or notice blue or gray lips.

No relevant abnormality was reported, or such testing was not recommended based on my clinical history.

I only had limited or consumer testing, or I do not know whether CFTR findings were assessed.

One CFTR variant, an uncertain result, or unexplained bronchiectasis was reported and needs clarification.

Two disease-causing CFTR variants were reported, or bronchiectasis led a clinician to strongly recommend CF assessment that remains incomplete.

No clinician has recommended CF evaluation after reviewing my relevant history.

A clinician briefly mentioned CF as one possibility but did not recommend testing at that time.

A clinician recommended a sweat test, genetic test, or specialist referral that is planned or incomplete.

More than one clinician has recommended CF evaluation, or an advised urgent referral has not been completed.

I do not usually have chest mucus.
