My next question was – could this horrid Coronavirus act as a trigger if I have the pf gene? Very worried. X

I realise this is an old thread but it is discussing the exact issue I am concerned about.
My lovely Dad died in 2007 – he had a general anaesthetic for surgery which somehow “triggered” the PF – three WEEKS later we had to switch off his oxygen supply as there was no hope for him. His father, my grandad, died in 1984 from the same thing, though he lasted longer after diagnosis, then my aunt, dad’s sister died three years ago. All were in their early 70’s. In 2007 a “ familial” link was unheard of here in the UK, I would be very interested to know if there is a test for a gene or anything I can do personally to stave off this hideous disease. Now we have Coronavirus to deal with too! Very worried, could this be another trigger? I’m 53, no symptoms. Love to all x
