Abstract:
Hypodontia is defined as the developmental absence of one or more tooth and it can present in varying degrees of severity and severe hypodontia has been defined as the absence of six teeth, excluding third molars. Radiation plays an important role in the treatment of head and neck cancer, in spite of its benefits, radiation has several side-effects in the head and neck region. This article highlights a case report, where hypodontia, hypoplasia of mandible, stunded permanent teeth roots, microdontia, inversion of tooth bud were observed in 19 years old patient who was diagnosed with Langerhans cell histiocytosis at her age of 3 years she had received a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for a period of 1 year and radiation of 50 Gy was used in the head and neck region. Radiographs were taken and it revealed abnormal changes in growth and development of bone and teeth.

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...
