Abstract:
As genetic advances are made at an increasingly rapid rate, the physician practicing in this specialty must be aware of the most current data, risks, and options for treatment to comply with the standard of care. Only by arming himself or herself with this information, imparting it to the patient, and appropriately documenting that the patient has been informed, can today's practitioner expect to stay abreast of legal liability and the potentially enormous damages accompanying genetic lawsuits.

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...
