By: E&P staff The son of 'Washington Post' reporter Sally Quinn and former executive editor Ben Bradlee has helped bring a rare genetic disease to light, USA Today reveals.

While growing up, it seemed that Quinn Bradlee was always sick: his ailments included a hole in his heart, epilepsy, dyslexia and a weak immune system that left him chronically sick. His parents weren't sure what was wrong with him and were never sure what would creep up next.
