    Summary

    Hereditary motor sensory neuropathies (HMSN) are a group of inherited nerve disorders. This study distinguishes two main types, HMSN type I and type II, based on clinical, electrophysiological, and morphological findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Genetics
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Hereditary motor sensory neuropathy (HMSN) comprises a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders.
    • These conditions share progressive, distal, symmetrical motor and sensory neuropathy as a common clinical manifestation.
    • The underlying etiology for HMSN is varied.

    Purpose:

    • To provide a comprehensive overview of hereditary motor sensory neuropathies.
    • To differentiate between the two major electrophysiological and morphological types of HMSN: neural (type I) and neuronal (type II).
    • To critically discuss current classifications of HMSN.

    Summary:

    • HMSN type I (neural) is characterized by axonal degeneration, segmental demyelination, and hypertrophic nerve changes, with significantly slowed nerve conduction velocities.
    • HMSN type II (neuronal) involves axonal degeneration with secondary demyelination but lacks hypertrophic changes, exhibiting normal or mildly decreased nerve conduction velocities.
    • This review synthesizes historical, clinical, electrophysiological, and morphological data for these two HMSN types.

    Impact:

    • Clarifies the diagnostic criteria for distinguishing between HMSN types I and II.
    • Provides a foundation for understanding the pathophysiology and classification of hereditary neuropathies.
    • Facilitates accurate diagnosis and potentially guides future research into targeted therapies for HMSN subtypes.
