[Clinical practice of hereditary motor neuropathy (HMN) and hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy (HSAN)].

چکیده
Inherited neuropathy is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of neuropathies, the main category becomes Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy (CMT), also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN), distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN), and hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy (HSAN). At least 80 genes have been associated with CMT, HMN or HSAN, a precise molecular diagnosis is often needed to make a clinical diagnosis accurately, enable genetic counseling of the patient and understanding of their molecular mechanisms. To identify the mutation in each patient, using a high-throughput NGS, we established a diagnostic procedure involving screening of disease causing genes in CMT, HMN or HSAN.

A 24-year old female patient with the history of pressure ulcers in distal extremities resulted in severe deformity will be reported. Her disease started when she was 9 years old and a similar history was found in her brother. In physical examination, pain and temperature sensations were impaired in distal extremities. Nerve conduction velocity showed impaired sensory and normal motor responses...
متن کاملClinical, pathological and genetic characterization of hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 1 (HSAN I).
Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type I (HSAN I) is the most frequent type of hereditary neuropathy that primarily affects sensory neurons. The genetic locus for HSAN I has been mapped to chromosome 9q22.1-22.3 and recently the gene was identified as SPTLC1, encoding serine palmitoyltransferase, long chain base subunit-1. Sequencing in HSAN I families have previously identified mutat...
متن کاملMolecular pathogenesis, experimental therapy and genetic counseling in hereditary sensory neuropathies.
Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies (HSANs) represent a group of heritable peripheral nerve disorders usually taking a severe clinical course. HSAN-affected patients manifest with deep, poorly-healing ulcerations of the feet and hands. To date no definitive cure for HSANs has been developed and the molecular pathology of these disorders is complex. The aim of this review is therefore ...

There has been tremendous progress in the detection and diagnosis of hereditary neuropathies and while the genes responsible for these rare neuropathies have improved our understanding of the development of the sensory system, they remain clinical enigmas with rare occurrences and diverse presentations. In 1963, Swanson first described two brothers with congenital insensitivity to pain, anhidro...
متن کاملHereditary sensory neuropathy type
Hereditary sensory neuropathy type I (HSN I) is a slowly progressive neurological disorder characterised by prominent predominantly distal sensory loss, autonomic disturbances, autosomal dominant inheritance, and juvenile or adulthood disease onset. The exact prevalence is unknown, but is estimated as very low. Disease onset varies between the 2nd and 5th decade of life. The main clinical featu...
