Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy
Overview
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]
HMSN is sometimes equated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.[4][5]
