This study details the first Thai family with X-linked recessive bulbospinal neuronopathy, highlighting variable muscle weakness and distinctive symptoms like gynecomastia. The findings suggest it

Area of Science:

Neurology
Genetics
Rare Diseases

Background:

X-linked recessive bulbospinal neuronopathy (XLBSN) is a rare neuromuscular disorder.
Understanding its genetic basis and clinical spectrum is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Observation:

The first documented case of XLBSN in a Thai family is presented.
Clinical manifestations showed variations in muscle weakness distribution among affected members.
Distinctive features include gynecomastia and essential tremors, aiding in sporadic case diagnosis.

Findings:

The study describes variations in XLBSN presentation within a single family.
Muscle atrophy and fasciculations are prominent, but the disorder involves multiple organ systems, not just anterior horn cells.

Gynecomastia and essential tremors are key diagnostic indicators.

Implications:

This research expands the understanding of XLBSN's genetic and clinical variability.
It emphasizes classifying XLBSN as a multisystem disorder.
Early diagnosis is facilitated by recognizing distinctive clinical signs, even in sporadic instances.
