Complex glycerol kinase deficiency is a contiguous gene syndrome that involves deletion of the glycerol kinase (GK) gene along with the loci for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and/or adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC). The deletion breakpoints in these patients allowed identification of the criti
We report a 2-year-old boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), glycerol kinase deficiency (GK) and adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC). At three weeks of age, the patient was hospitalized for the first time with symptoms of hypotone dehydration because of AHC. At present, he shows severe muscular
