A new DNA study says King Tut was a frail pharaoh, beset by malaria and a bone disorder - his health possibly compromised by his newly discovered incestuous origins.The report is the first DNA study ever conducted with ancient Egyptian royal mummies. It apparently solves several mysteries surrounding King Tut, including how he died and who his parents were.
King Tut was not a very strong pharaoh. He was a frail, weak boy who had a bit of a club foot and who needed a cane to walk. The study also revealed that King Tut's mother and father were brother and sister.

That was a really interesting article. It looks as if they've almost conclusively zeroed in on his family blood line.
