Genetic quirk is the only thing I can think of. But which gene marker specifically is glitching out here? I barely know anything about genetics, but I do remember that some genetic anomalies tied to heart formation in early fetal development also lead to throat and stomach problems too. Do those correspond, or is this isolated?
