Abstract
A family is described with 3 male sibs suffering from congenital adrenal hypoplasia (CAH). In the 2 surviving brothers the disease is clinically further characterized by a Duchenne type muscular dystrophy, growth failure and severe mental retardation. Laboratory investigations revealed deficient activities of gonadotrophin and glycerol kinase. The clinical, biochemical and genetic findings in this exceptional family are reported and discussed.
