    Notes: Abstract The indirect approach to carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis of Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies based on the study of DNA polymorphisms closely linked to this gene has been followed by five Italian laboratories in the study of 106 pedigrees. Out of 354 women studied up to 1 May 1987, 147 were identified as carriers because of pedigree information and/or of increased creatine phosphokinase (CPK) values. Of the remaining 207, 184 could be assigned to three arbitrarily defined risk categories (low, intermediate and high) using linkage analysis. This disaggregation of women at risk is clearly more useful than that defined before DNA analysis, in which the same 184 women could be assigned only to the low or intermediate risk categories. Prenatal diagnosis was theoretically possible in 90% of carrier women, and was actually performed in 14 pregnancies, which led to the identification of four affected male foetuses, one also having Down syndrome.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Gli autori riportano le proprie esperienze su 89 casi di amiotrofie spinali prossimali facendo alcune considerazioni sulle caratteristiche cliniche. Nel discutere i criteri di classificazione e le modalità di trasmissione, gli autori suggeriscono l'ipotesi che le singole forme in cui è divisa l'amiotrofia spinale prossimale possano essere considerate come una malattia unitaria con ampia variabilità per età di esordio e gravità, dovuta generalmente, alla trasmissione di un gene autosomico recessivo.
    Notes: Abstract A report on 89 cases of proximal Spinal Muscular Atrophy with observations on the clinical features, criteria of classification and modes of inheritance. The various forms into which SMA is divided probably represent a single disease that may begin at any age and may vary in severity, due, as a rule, to an autosomal recessive gene.
