Abstract excerpt
X-linked recessive bulbospinal muscular atrophy (BSMA) is an adult-onset form of motor neuron disease, of which androgen receptor (AR) gene mutations with increased size of a polymorphic tandem CAG repeat in the coding region was found by Fischbeck et al (1991). We investigated this AR gene abnormality by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 16 unrelated Japanese BSMA pedigrees, including 21 patients, 11 male...
