Abstract:
We have described the case of a paediatric patient suffering from the so-called 'fish-chicken syndrome.' We assessed the clinical evolution from the onset of symptoms to the partial recovery that was unusually achieved within a few months. This allowed us not only to delve deeper into the natural history of the syndrome, which is currently, especially for paediatric patients, little known, but also pointed us towards new possibilities regarding the diagnosis and management of this type of allergy.

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...
