Overview

Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies (HMSN) are a group of neuropathies which are characterized by their impact upon both afferent and efferent neural communication.

They are more common than hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies.[1]

Types

In 1968, it was classified from groups I to VII:[2][3]

Type Name Diseases Database OMIM
I Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 1 Template:DiseasesDB2 118220, 118200
II Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2 Template:DiseasesDB2 118210, 600882
III Dejerine Sottas syndrome Template:DiseasesDB2 145900
IV Refsum's disease Template:DiseasesDB2 266500
V HMSN+hereditary spastic paraplegia - 600361
VI HMSN+hereditary optic atrophy Template:DiseasesDB2 601152
VII HMSN+retinitis pigmentosa Template:DiseasesDB2 -

HMSN is sometimes equated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.[4][5]
