title: Differential diagnosis in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy clinical and molecular aspects.
abstract: Kennedy disease is caused by an enlarged trinucleotide repeat sequence within the androgen receptor gene. We report here seven male patients with a benign motor neuron syndrome highly analogous to Kennedy disease but with a normal trinucleotide repeat.
