"Here are the medical records of the patients in my family. No more than five people have seen them." Liang Yuecheng said implicitly in the consulting room.
He didn't even sign a confidentiality agreement with Mason, but he had a strong intuition that as long as Mason accepted the patient, he would never leak the information.
"Is it familial?" Mason flipped through the medical records. A lot of them were in foreign languages, so he didn't read them carefully at first, but chose to talk to Liang Yuecheng.
Liang Yuecheng nodded and described fluently: "Kennedy's disease is an X-linked recessive hereditary motor neuron disease. After the onset of the disease, neuron and muscle dysfunction occurs, which worsens year by year. From the limbs to the whole body, from weakness and convulsions to eventually life in a wheelchair, even swallowing and breathing are difficult."
Although the life expectancy can be the same as that of normal people, the quality of life will be very low. Because it is an X-linked recessive inheritance, female carriers of this disease generally have no clinical symptoms, and only males will develop the disease.
