Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), also known as Kennedy's disease, is an X-linked motor neuron disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the gene coding for the androgen receptor (AR). The range and significance of reduced penetrance alleles in SBMA has not been fully determined to date. We presently sought to determine the range of reduced penetrance alleles in SBMA. METHODS: Through...
