We report an interstitial deletion in the short arm of the X chromosome in a 6-year-old boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, glycerol kinase deficiency, adrenal insufficiency, intermittent hypoglycemia, spasticity, psychomotor retardation, and growth delay. His mother also has this deletion in an X chromosome. From our findings, we propose that the human glycerol kinase locus and the human X-linked adrenal hypoplasia locus are in the Xp21 band.
