✦ Synopsis

Since the description of X-linked hydrocephalus by Bickers and Adams in 1949,' genetic counseling concerning this disease has benefited from the addition of prenatal ultrasound examinations, and more recently from the progress made in genetic engineering.2 We are reporting on a case in which sonographic examination permitted, at 21 weeks, menstrual age (MA), the prenatal diagnosis of hydrocephalus associated with a unilateral adducted thumb, where there was a family history of hydrocephalus.

CASE REPORT

A woman (Figure 1, 111, 5) requested genetic counseling at 21 weeks, MA. It was her first pregnancy, and she had two brothers with hydrocephalus. One died at the age of three (Figure 1,

## Abstract A family study was performed in order to diagnose X‐linked lymphoproliferative (XLP) disease in a fetus. The molecular genetic analysis indicated that the fetus, as well as its healthy 7‐year‐old brother, inherited XLP. Analysis of immunoglobulin subclasses from the 7‐year‐old brother s

X-linked myotubular myopathy (MTM 1) is a severe congenital myopathy characterized by hypotonia, muscle weakness, and associated respiratory insufficiency. Pennatal death is common. The disease locus was shown to be linked to polymorphic markers in Xq28 and we have recently refined the MTMl locus to
