he researchers also concluded that the mother of the young pharaoh's mummy is the author "to any of the 35" likely she was the sister of his father and that her name is still unknown. The genetic analysis showed the presence of kin relationship between the parents. The marriage between brothers, common in ancient Egypt.
As you know also his grandmother, Queen Mother of Tai Akhenaten.
And Hawass said the study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association, "gamma" in the February 17 "The results lead us to believe that a deficiency in the blood circulation in the tissues of bone weakened, as well as from malaria is the most likely cause of death," and that after a fracture of the tibia.
And make this diagnosis after genetic analysis showed a series of distortions to the family of Tutankhamun, including Kohler's disease, which destroys bone cells. The pharaoh was the young man suffering from a deformity in the feet and the valley known as football or wrap Clubfoot in which the heel of the foot and fingers curved inward.
The DNA analysis revealed the presence of three genes related to parasite Plasmodium falciparum which causes malaria in mummies, including four belonging to the mummy of Tutankhamun.
The researchers explained that "what was found in the tomb of Tutankhamun strengthens this hypothesis, including sticks and a pharmacy for the second life."
Denies this study all the theories that say that Tutankhamun or another member of the royal family had been suffering from gynecomastia, or men of Marfan syndrome, a rare genetic disease causing the expansion of the aorta.
The study authors assert that "it is unlikely that the appearance of Tutankhamun or Akhenaten or strange things effeminate."

Was Tutankhamun and his predecessors, known before the discovery of the British Howard Carter in 1922, his tomb in the valley of the kings that were not open before and contains a huge treasure, including the sarcophagus mask made of gold.
The researchers said this study opens a new era of research in the genealogy and partial genetic maps of the ancient common diseases in the Pharaonic era.
But Howard Markel wrote in an editorial that accompanied the study, said the research raises ethical questions about respect for the personal life of historical figures or ordinary people after death.
