Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy

HMSN

Individuals with CMT 3 (Dejerine-Sottas disease) have a primarily demyelinating peripheral neuropathy with a more severe phenotype presenting in infancy. [academlib.com]

At present, mutations in ten different genes have been identified, chromosomal localisation of many other distinct inherited neuropathies has been mapped, and new genetic causes for inherited neuropathies continue to be discovered. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Romberg may be positive, but pure cerebellar (nystagmus, dysmetria) or upper motor neuron signs should not be present. [now.aapmr.org]

Presentation [ 5 ] Onset is insidious and slowly progressive. CMT1 This is the most common form. [patient.info]

    You may also experience loss of sensation and muscle contractions, and difficulty walking. Foot deformities such as hammertoes and high arches also are common. [mayoclinic.org]

    Patients may experience difficulty walking or running, often tripping. Pressure palsies are common. Spinal deformities (eg, thoracic scoliosis) occur in 37-50% of patients with CMT1. [patient.info]

    Muscle weakness can cause weak ankles and eventually progress to difficulty walking (gait disturbances). Some older affected individuals (e.g. those in their 60s or 70s) may eventually require a wheelchair. [rarediseases.org]

  • Fear

    Many patients and families are ashamed and fearful about diagnosis, and benefit from meeting others with CMT in person or online. [now.aapmr.org]

  • Auditory Hallucination

    By the end of the teenage years or at the beginning of adulthood, some people may experience episodes of anxiety, agitation, visual or auditory hallucinations or depression. [muscle.ca]

    Other common symptoms and signs include hand tremors, muscle cramps and acrocyanosis. It may be possible to palpate enlarged and excessively firm nerves. [patient.info]

    Romberg may be positive, but pure cerebellar (nystagmus, dysmetria) or upper motor neuron signs should not be present. [now.aapmr.org]

Clinical Testing and Workup Nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electromyography (EMG) are very useful. [rarediseases.org]

Since muscle wasting and sensory disturbance are the main features of these syndromes, treatments aim to improve motor impairment and sensory disturbances. Specific treatment trials are rare. [cochrane.org]

& Therapy (Not all treatments and therapies may be indicated.) [foundationforpn.org]

TO TOP What treatments are available? Currently, there is no known cure for HMSN/ACC or treatments to prevent the onset of symptoms. [muscle.ca]

Currently, no definitive treatment exists for HMSN. It cannot be stopped or reversed, but it can reach a point where the progression steadies itself. [aanem.org]

In order to develop treatments based on the biological advances in the inherited neuropathies, it is necessary to have measured the natural history of the various disorders. [clinicaltrials.gov]

It is only by knowing the natural history that one understands the onset of clinical symptoms, the rate of progression, and the ultimate prognosis of these diseases. [clinicaltrials.gov]

Prognosis [ edit ] Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy are relatively common and are often inherited with other neuromuscular conditions, and these comorbidities cause an accelerated progression of the disease. [en.wikipedia.org]

CMT in pregnancy increases the risk for complications during delivery and a higher risk of intervention. [ 11 ] Prognosis This is dependent on subtype; clinical impairment and disability correlate with axonal loss: Most patients with CMT1A have normal [patient.info]

Treatment and prognosis Unfortunately no effective drug for CMT exists. Treatment is largely supportive with rehabilitation therapy and surgery for skeletal deformities 5. [radiopaedia.org]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

Abstract Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies (HMSN) is a complex group of diseases, mainly of unknown etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diagnostic tests, usually beginning electrodiagnostic testing, are indicated in patients with atypical clinical features, unknown etiology, and/or severe or rapidly progressive symptoms. [amboss.com]

Several demyelinating etiologies can produce a “Dejerine-Sottas” phenotype with early onset, palpable nerves, and marked onion-bulb formation. [now.aapmr.org]

(Etiology) The cause of Hereditary Sensory Neuropathy Type II is a recessive mutation in either the WNK1 gene on chromosome 12 (A), the FAM134B gene on chromosome 5 (B), the KIF1A gene on chromosome 2 (C), or in the SCN9A gene on chromosome 2 (D). [dovemed.com]

Abstract A clinical, genetic and epidemiological study of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies (HMSN) was performed in the province of Turin, Italy. The patients were allocated to 5 groups, according to genetic and electroneurographic features. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology It is the most common inherited neuromuscular disorder affecting 1 in 2,500 people. [ 1 ] It has no predilection for a particular race or sex. [patient.info]

Epidemiology including risk factors and primary prevention HMSN is the most common inherited neuromuscular disease with overall prevalence of approximately 1/2500 and incidence 15/100,000 in the general population. [now.aapmr.org]

Pathophysiology CMT1A The extra PMP22 gene copy within the 1.5 mB duplication on chromosome 17 is believed to cause most cases. [12] PMP22 is a 160 amino acid integral membrane protein that is expressed at high levels in myelinating Schwann cells, localizing [emedicine.medscape.com]

Since foot disorders are common with neuropathy, precautions must be taken to strengthen these muscles and use preventative care and physical therapy to prevent injury and deformities. [en.wikipedia.org]

Leg braces prevent ankle sprains and improve walking ability. Surgery: For some people, surgery can help prevent or reverse foot and joint deformities. Pain management: Pain-killing drugs may be prescribed for people who have severe pain. [hnf-cure.org]

Lightweight lower leg braces, special shoes or shoe inserts can help prevent ankle sprains and maximize independence. Surgery may be suggested to correct foot deformities. [foundationforpn.org]

Primary prevention is genetic counseling. [now.aapmr.org]

This prompt diagnosis is useful for providing a well-timed treatment, establishing a recurrence risk and preventing further investigations poorly tolerated by patients and expensive for the health system. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
