Broadening the Clinical Spectrum of Axonal Hereditary Neuropathies: A Comparative Case Study on DNAJB2- and HINT1-Related Disease. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Differentiating hereditary axonal polyneuropathies caused by distinct gene variants remains a clinical challenge. This comparative case study of DNAJB2‐ and HINT1‐related neuropathies aimed to broaden the phenotypic spectrum associated with these genes and to explore non‐motor symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in affected ...

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. In contrast, sensory abnormalities predominate or are exclusively present in hereditary sensory and autonomic ...
