Goldenhar syndrome, a rare congenital disorder, typically affects structures from the first and second branchial arches. This case highlights unusual co-occurrences of polydactyly and hydrocephalus in Goldenhar syndrome.
Area of Science:
- Medical Genetics
- Developmental Biology
- Clinical Medicine
Background:
- Goldenhar syndrome, also known as oculoauriculovertebral spectrum, is a complex congenital malformation.
- It primarily involves structures derived from the first and second branchial arches, first pharyngeal pouch, and first branchial cleft.
- While the syndrome is not exceedingly rare, certain associated anomalies are infrequent.

Lethal Alleles
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...
