Abstract
The authors describe 4 cases of Kennedy's medullo-spinal amyotrophy (B SA) which is a genetically determined disease with mutant gene inherit ance by the recessive type with X chromosome cohesion. The disease lar gely shows up by the impairment of the nervous system in the form of B SA. However, the clinical picture is also marked by the derangement of the mesenchymal (Dupuytren's contracture) and endocrine systems (gyne comastia).
