damage to the brain due to the stroke, coma, and brain tumor she suffered at age 4 (right before she stopped developing) could be a more likely cause than her particular genetic makeup.
I'd say you likely nailed it there, sir.
There may be some mutation that led to the tumor, but the chances of that mutation leading to the same symptoms again could well be miniscule. Even if she were to be cloned, that is.
After all, the biological systems we're talking about here are unfathomably complex, and so are their failure modes.
