Abstract:
We are reporting a rare case of missing teeth in primary dentition. The case reported with the chief complaint of missing teeth in the lower front tooth region. The concern of the parents was missing primary teeth but they were also worried about the permanent successors. Thorough evaluation of the primary dentition visually and permanent dentition radiographically was done. There was missing 72 and 82.Along with these, there were few permanent teeth, that is, lack of initiation of 35 and 45 and 22 was evident. The case was non-syndromic. At present, the case is under follow-up.

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...
