[Kniest's disease, (a familial case)]
Kniest's disease, a type of spondylo-epiphyseal dysplasia, was recently identified. This study details a second familial case, confirming its transmission as a dominant genetic trait.
Area of Science:
- Genetics
- Orthopedics
- Medical genetics
Background:
- Kniest's disease, a form of spondylo-epiphyseal dysplasia, is a rare skeletal disorder.
- The initial description of Kniest's disease was provided by Maroteaux and Spranger.

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...
