Excerpt

Both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and X-linked recessive bulbospinal neuronopathy (Kennedy disease, KD) are related motor neuron degenerations characterized by progressive weakness, skeletal muscle wasting, dysarthria, and dysphagia [1]. However, ALS is fatal due to progressive weakness of respiratory muscles, while KD progresses more slowly. KD is caused by a mutation in the androgen receptor (AR) gene and is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner. Female carriers often display similar but more limited clinical symptoms. Here, we report one Chinese family containing both an ALS patient and a KD patient. All participants signed the informed consents and the study was approved by the Ethics Committee at Huashan Hospital. …
