Kennedy's Disease Association

A Public Benefit, Non-Profit Organization

"Every day parents-to-be wonder whether their child will be born with this DNA defect"

Our Focus Remains on Research, Education and Support

The Kennedy’s Disease Association has worked to educate others about this lesser-known disease and to support clinical research efforts. We distributed information to more than 10,000 neurologists to help them recognize clinical signs and symptoms of Kennedy’s Disease.

Will my child be born with this DNA defect?

It takes an enormous amount of money to fund research…more than any of us can afford alone, but together, we are capable of great accomplishments. We are searching for available foundation grants, but the process is lengthy. We need researchers to continue their work, and it is only the KDA that makes funding this disease a priority.

Kennedy’s Disease Knows No Boundaries...

It is passed on from generation to generation in families worldwide. Males generally inherit the disease symptoms and females are the carriers. The defect is in the ‘X’ Chromosome that makes testosterone almost a poison to his body.

What is Kennedy's Disease?

Kennedy’s Disease (spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy) is an adult-onset “X” linked inherited disease with symptoms usually beginning to appear between the ages of 30 and 50. However, onset has also been reported as early as in the teens and as late as the 60s.

Notice: A new law imposing the collection of taxes from consumers on sales by online retailers was signed by California Governor Jerry Brown on 6/30/2011. That compelled many of the companies that we had listed here to terminate their Associates Program with us – the biggest being Amazon. If you can no longer find one of your favorite retailers’ links it is because we were given a notice of termination by that retailer and have subsequently removed their link from this page. As we receive termination notices from other companies the list will be updated. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
