  • Title: Autosomal recessive type II hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy with acrodystrophy.
    Author: Thomas PK, Claus D, King RH.
    Journal: J Neurol; 1999 Feb; 246(2):107-12. PubMed ID: 10195405.
    Abstract:
    A family is described with presumed autosomal recessive inheritance in which three siblings developed a progressive neuropathy that combined limb weakness and severe distal sensory loss leading to prominent mutilating changes. Electrophysiological and nerve biopsy findings indicated an axonopathy. The disorder is therefore classifiable as type II hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN II). The clinical features differ from those reported in previously described cases of autosomal recessive HMSN II. This disorder may therefore represent a new variant.
