We report on an X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) family in which mothers of two affected cousins were monozygotic twins. We analyzed the Btk gene of several members in three generations of the family by SSCP analysis, DNA sequencing, and RFLP analysis following polymerase chain reaction-amplificati

## X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is an immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the gene coding for Bruton agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase (BTK). A database (BTKbase ) of BTK mutations lists 544 mutation entries from 471 unrelated families showing 341 unique molecular events. In addition to
X-linked bulbospinal neuronopathy (XLBSN) or Kennedys disease is a rare inherited neuromuscular disease characterized by adultonset muscle weakness, usually in a limb-girdle distribution. It is frequently misdiagnosed despite a distinctive clinical presentation, usually due to the absence of a clear
