The section is dedicated to kids and teenagers who have a genetic condition called FAP. FAP, or its full name, familial adenomatous polyposis, is a condition in which polyps (pronounced pol'ips) form in the digestive tract and are inherited. Polyps are abnormal, mushroom-like growths that form on the inside of the digestive tract.
