Misleading title. The technique does not prevent all hereditary disease.
DNA from both parents can be injected into a donor egg, which uses the donor’s mitochondria. This is used to keep a child from inheriting a mitochondrial disease from the mother. These are the specific set of hereditary diseases this technique prevents.
All other hereditary diseases are not prevented by this.

In this instance, I wouldn't mind editorialising via [a].

...y-yeah! What a freak! 👀💧
Probably just normal variation that will pretty much disappear with the wearing of shoes. It could be sandal-gap deformity, but that's just a wild guess based on a Google search.
Note: This is probably why my veterinarian's office has a sign that says there will be an additional charge for clients who come in with a diagnosis from Google.
