title: [X-linked recessively inherited peroneal muscular atrophy].
abstract: This article presents a pedigree of 80 members of which there are 13 patients (13 males) with peroneal muscular atrophy. The analysis of this pedigree shows that an affected male married to a normal female will have normal son(s) and carrier-daughter(s). The normal son(s) will have normal offspring, but half the sons of the carrier-daughter(s) will be affected. The pathogenic genes of affected males are transmitted to their daughters, but not to their sons. So this inheritance is of X-linked recessive type. This is the first report of X-linked recessively inherited peroneal muscular atrophy in china.
