Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Genetics
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Investigating rare inherited neuropathies.
  • Understanding the genetic basis of neurological disorders.

Observation:

  • Two siblings presented with recurrent axonal neuropathy, complicated by infection.
  • One sibling exhibited global developmental delay.
  • Standard tests ruled out metabolic disorders.

Findings:

  • Nerve conduction studies revealed mixed sensory and motor axonal neuropathy.
  • Sural nerve biopsies demonstrated severe axonal degeneration.
  • Post-mortem examination showed widespread axonal loss and neuronal reduction in the central nervous system, with mild inflammation.

Implications:
