  • Title: Classifications of neurogenetic diseases: An increasingly complex problem.
    Author: Vallat JM, Goizet C, Tazir M, Couratier P, Magy L, Mathis S.

    Abstract:
    Neurodegenerative disorders represent a wide group of diseases affecting the central and/or peripheral nervous system. Many of these disorders were described in the 19th century, but our genetic knowledge of them is recent (over the past 25 years). However, the continual discovery of disease-causing gene mutations has led to difficulties in the classification of these diseases. For this reason, our present proposals for updating and simplifying the classification of some of these conditions (Charcot-Marie-Tooth diseases, distal hereditary motor neuropathies, hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies, hereditary spastic ataxias, hereditary spastic paraplegias and hereditary spastic ataxias) are expounded here.
