Genetics research is important in the prevention and treatment of disease. This exhibit provides information on what DNA, genes, and chromosomes do in our bodies, explains how basic research has led to a better understanding of genetic research, and discusses the scope, purpose, and techniques of the Human Genome Project to map and decode our genes. The exhibit poses such questions as: How do genes cause disease? Can gene therapy work? How do we manipulate genes and should we? The exhibit has a "Just for Kids" section that helps to teach kids about the history and role of genetics in our world. This would be a good tool to teach our children about the genetic aspects of CAH.

This exhibit was produced by the Stetten Museum in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the National Cancer Institute, the National Human Genome Research Institute, the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

For months our local pharmacy would call us and say, "Sorry, still not in, we'll call you as soon as it gets here." The pharmacy called around to other pharmacies and still no luck.
Finally a bright idea came to mind - our hospital has had it when we needed it, wonder if the hospital pharmacy could sell a vial to me? So I made a call and sure enough the hospital was stocked with it, but they could not sell it out right to me. BUT, they could transfer it to our local pharmacy and they could sell it to us. So if you are having trouble getting Solu-Cortef give you hospital pharmacy a call.

Note: We were also told my another CAH family, if you call the product maker of solu-cortef (Pfizer), they will drop ship you an order. We have not had to do that, but that is another option.
