Abstract:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of the upper and lower motor neurons. This disease is mostly observed in patients of the 6th decade or above, and it is extremely rare to observe this pathology in patients less than 50 years of age. This manuscript depicts the magnetic resonance imaging findings of ALS showing a wine glass sign in a 31-year-old female from a rural area with complaints of progressive limb weakness and muscle wasting.

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...
