    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the cause of hypertelorism in the daughter of clinical geneticist Hugh Rienhoff. It mentions that the reason behind the medical condition was a mutation in the gene that encodes transforming growth factor(TGF)-beta three in the TGF-beta pathway that have resulted in Marfan syndrome and Loeys–Dietz syndrome in Rienhoff's daughter. It states that the genome-sequencing firm Illumina Inc. has helped Rienhoff in researching the sequence of his daughter.
