Abstract excerpt

X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), also known as Kennedy syndrome, is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder characterized by slowly progressive muscle atrophy and other severe symptoms gradually leading to reduced mobility and ultimately to death due to respiratory failure. Two decades ago we reported the first prenatal diagnosis of SBMA worldwide. Here we present a Greek family in which we...
