My DNA Diary: Cystic Fibrosis

By Lisa Mullan

Cystic Fibrosis is one of the most common, life-limiting conditions in the world. You can't catch it. You inherit it from your parents.

How do your parents make you ill?

Join Alina on her educational tour as she gives you a DNA-eye view of the biology behind this condition. You will learn about DNA, how it is connected to Cystic Fibrosis and what it all means for the individual.

Easy to read and understand. Ideal for home, primary or elementary stage children looking for more. A must have for schools, doctor's surgeries and genetic counsellor practices.

The author has a PhD and spent many years teaching this subject.

"Suitable for home or school, teachers and parents can be reassured that the science is correctly explained. The book enables those without a background in genetics to introduce the subject and to learn themselves. And, for children, the book does an excellent job of introducing genetics concepts and terminology in a fun way, potentially inspiring some of tomorrow's scientists and clinicians to continue their learning journey."
