Genetic lessons learned from X‐linked Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases [PDF]
Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is a rare syndrome conferring predisposition to clinical disease caused by weakly virulent mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette Guérin (BCG) vaccines and nontuberculous, environmental mycobacteria (EM).

Genetic Heterogeneity in Patients with X-Linked Recessive Chronic Granulomatous Disease [PDF]
Genetic heterogeneity in 12 patients from 11 different families with X-linked recessive chronic granulomatous disease was studied by Southern blot analysis using cytochrome b heavy-chain cDNA as a probe. We found the abnormal restriction length fragment patterns of the cytochrome b heavy-chain gene in three families, which were not observed in healthy ...

X-linked agammaglobulinemia with bronchiectasis and infection: a case report [PDF]
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a rare disease characterized by severe hypogammaglobulinemia, antibody deficiency, and recurrent infections. This study reports a case of X-linked agammaglobulinemia combined with bronchiectasis and infection.

Case Report: Co-occurrence of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Frontometaphyseal Dysplasia 1
Herein, we present a rare case of co-occurring Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and frontometaphyseal dysplasia 1 (FMD1), two different X-linked diseases, in a 7-year-old boy.

Rapid Genetic Analysis of X-Linked Chronic Granulomatous Disease by High-Resolution Melting [PDF]
High-resolution melting analysis was applied to X-linked chronic granulomatous disease, a rare disorder resulting from mutations in CYBB. Melting curves of the 13 PCR products bracketing CYBB exons were predicted by Poland's algorithm and compared with observed curves from 96 normal individuals.
