Klippel-feil syndrome-appropos of a case
1KMC, 575 001 Mangalore.
Abstract:
Klippel-FEIL syndrome is a congenital skeletal malformation characterised by the fusion of various cervical and occasionally thoracic vertebrae, leading to low hair line and short neck. Occasionally it is associated with hearing loss and Sprengel deformity with winging of scapulae. This case is being reported for its rarity.

01:33Pleiotropy
Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...
