Disease mechanisms in hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies
Inherited peripheral neuropathies are common monogenically inherited diseases of the peripheral nervous system. In the most common variant, i.e., the hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies, both motor and sensory nerves are affected.

Genes for hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies: a genotype-phenotype correlation. [PDF]
Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies (HSAN) are clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders characterized by axonal atrophy and degeneration, exclusively or predominantly affecting the sensory and autonomic neurons. So far, disease-associated mutations have been identified in seven genes: two genes for autosomal dominant (SPTLC1 and ...

Novel Compound Heterozygous DST Variants Causing Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathies VI in Twins of a Chinese Family [PDF]
Background: Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies (HSANs) are a rare and severe group of sensory axonal neuropathies. HSANs have been classified into eight groups based on mode of inheritance, clinical features, and the involved genes.
