Cystic Fibrosis

Dr Chetna Kang and Sophie Sulehria focus on Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease caused by a faulty gene which is carried by over two million people in the UK, most of whom have no idea they have it.

It is a life-shortening genetic condition and only half of those who have it, live to celebrate their fortieth birthday.

Today we'll meet a man from Milton Keynes who has lived with the condition for 32 years.

And we'll get a parent's view of life with a daughter who has Cystic Fibrosis.
