Genome entry #2 Fate

Our gene is very different from other people's genes. It is different because in our genes there are 3 different varieties of genes. ACG, AGC, GCA can be made. These can all repeat in many different ways, the max would be 35 times. If it repeats more than 35 times it means that something is wrong with your gene. Either you have a syndrome or your chromosome is messed up. The Wold-Hirschorn syndrome is a syndrome that lacks a short arm of chromosome number 4. Wexler's daughter had that syndrome and her father decided to try and find a cure for this disease. However the more he researched the more he discovered about this syndrome that is not very known in human society.
