Sirs, Recently, several of us described a family in which three boys suffered from an apparently X-linked syndrome consisting of progressive muscular dystrophy similar to the Duchenne type, adrenal hypoplasia (AH) and glycerol kinase (GK) deficiency (Reiner et al. 1983). Because DMD, AH and GK deficiency are separate X-linked entities, we considered that this disorder might be caused by a small deletion including the three respective gene loci. In the meantime, several cases with GK deficiency have been described that are clinically very similar to our cases (v. Petrykowski et al. 1982, Bartley et al. 1982, Ginns et al. 1984). This has opened up the possibility that all symptoms in these cases are pleiotropic effects of, and thus causally related to, GK deficiency. According to this hypothesis, the marked clinical heterogeneity of the GK syndrome (Ginns et al. 1984) might be attributable to allelic variation. Alternatively, heterogeneity could be explained by some cases being caused by point mutations and others by deletions, or by deletions of varying size. In an attempt to decide between these interpretations we have re-examined two affected boys of our family by probing their DNA with cloned sequences from the short arm of the X-chromosome. One of these, the recently isolated 754 probe from the middle of Xp (M. H. Hofker* el al. 1985 [in press]) consistently failed to yield hybridization signals in PstI, BglII
