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]

[edit] Types

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

Type Name Diseases Database OMIM
I Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 1 5815 118220, 118200
II Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2 2343 118210, 600882
III Dejerine Sottas syndrome 5821 145900
IV Refsum's disease 11213 266500
V HMSN+hereditary spastic paraplegia - 600361
VI HMSN+hereditary optic atrophy 32095 601152
VII HMSN+retinitis pigmentosa 32094 -

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