Abstract:
Morquio disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of keratan sulfate in tissues. We distinguish two forms according to the deficient enzyme: type A, with a poor prognosis, and type B. Its management is essentially symptomatic. Enzyme replacement therapy and gene therapy are still being evaluated. We report observations of three patients with Morquio disease type A in its moderate form. This article reports the latest facts in both Morquio disease diagnosis and treatment, emphasizing the minor forms usually presented by short stature that should bring out this disorder.

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...
