Hi,I'd would send a sample of 's saliva. 's newborn screening

test came up with a DNA mutation (DEL F508). I took her for CF testing

(sweat test) and she was negative.When my pediatrician questioned what

hospital about the mutation they couldn't provide any further insight.

Hello ,

Thank you so much for your interest in our study! In order to provide you

with further information, I have attached our information form, a cover

letter and a consent form. It is important to read the cover letter before

the consent because it highlights some parts of the consent that do not

apply to this specific study. You do not need to sign the consent form at

this point - it is for your information only.

If after reviewing this information, you decide you would like to

participate, please email me some details about your child (age, sex,

diagnosis) and your mailing address so that we can send you a saliva

collection kit and consent form for your signature in the mail.

Best regards,

Janis

Hi Dr. Cardy and welcome!

Could you please forward me as well the attachments of the cover

letter and consent form? If you wish we can put them up here in the

files, and then possibly also at the CHERAB and Speechville

websites. It's my understanding you have already spoke with Rhonda

from ECHO of Canada and she is one of my partners in co-founding

Speechville.

Let's get as many people as you need to participate!

I am sure many of us, including me, are willing to participate in

this study to help in any way answer more questions about

communication impairments. We are here as a group because we are

looking for answers on how to best help those we care for with

communication impairments. So thank you for doing this!

Please send the email to lisa@... (lisa at cherab.org)

Best regards,

=====

Hi all, Jeanne here. Dr Janis asked me to repost the message for

applicants in the saliva study. She said she has more openings.
