Abstract:
Cenani-Lenz syndactyly (CLS) is a rare autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by disorganized oligosyndactyly of upper and lower limbs as well as radioulnar synostosis. Structural renal abnormalities are also common. We report two affected brothers, born to orthodox Jewish parents, in whom we found a novel homozygous missense variant c.4910G>A; p.(Cys1637Tyr) in LRP4 situated in an EGF-like domain between the fourth beta-propeller and transmembrane domains. Both brothers have had recurrent ketotic hypoglycaemia which has not been associated previously. We present 3D computed tomographic imaging illustrating the limb abnormalities in detail.

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...

Glucose Transporters
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:
