When Kammy Hiner was born nearly 21 years ago, not much was known about her disorder. That lack of information is what inspired her father, Jared Hiner, to raise money for research programs through Kammy's Kause.
FORTVILLE — The 18th annual Kammy’s Kause is taking over Fortville’s Landmark Park this weekend to honor Kammy Hiner, a young woman with a rare chromosome disorder.
“4P minus is, in Kam’s case, is she’s missing at the P portion of one of her fourth chromosomes,” Hiner said.“Kam is going to need to be looked after for the rest of her life, you know, she's not going to be able to have her own apartment or have her own house," Jared said."So she's going to be with us you know for the remainder of our lives at least."“They said if she lived past a year, she was going to be a vegetable.

Researchers engineer first sustainable chromosome changes in miceEvolutionary chromosomal changes may take a million years in nature, but researchers are now reporting a novel technique enabling programmable chromosome fusion that has successfully produced mice with genetic changes that occur on a million-year evolutionary scale in the laboratory.
