Mutation Story

Mutation Story
Part One

I am a gene mutation known as cystic fibrosis. I am a genetic mutation that happens when a child is handed down two abbnormal genes, one gene will come from each parent. I change the way someone with my diseases makes sweat and mucus. My diseases causes many issues in the inner body for example, sever damage to the lungs, and digestive system. I also harm the pancreas, which makes it harder for one to digest your food. Another symptoms of my diseases will be that I will cause too much mucus in ones lungs, which will clog the lungs. My disease can also cause one to sweats out the salt one need in the body. My disease usually gets diagnosed by children at a young age, 75% of the time it is diagnosed children at the age of 2. Sometimes one will be diagnosed while in the womb, as a teen, and as an adult. My disease makes one live till age 40, as times till 50. My genetic mutation, is a negative mutation and is a serious issues.
