First time accepted submitter bmahersciwriter writes "Hugh Rienhoff has searched for more than a decade for the cause of a mysterious constellation of clinical features in his daugther Bea: skinny legs, curled fingers and always the specter that she might have a high risk of cardiovascular complications. He even bought second hand lab equipment to prepare some of her genes for sequencing in his basement. Now, he has an answer."

    TFA may be filled with references to genetic sequencing and names of various names of genetic-mutations, such as "TGF-B" (sorry, /. can not display "beta")

    But at the base of it all, it was the love of the father for his daughter that led to the tireless search for answer, for almost a decade

    It's heartwarming, to say the least
