Description: (OMIM) The hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies (HSAN), which are also referred to as hereditary sensory neuropathies (HSN) in the absence of significant autonomic features, are a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of disorders associated with sensory dysfunction. ...
Clinical Description OMIM Hicks (1922) described an English family in which 10 members suffered from perforating ulcers of the feet, shooting pains, and deafness. Age of onset ranged from 15 to 36 years. Presentation was usually with a corn on a ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In all affected members of 11 HSN1 families, Dawkins et al. (2001) identified mutations in the SPTLC1 gene (C133Y, 605712.0001; C133W, 605712.0002; V144D, 605712.0003). Bejaoui et al. (2001) independently identified 2 of the same SPTLC1 mutations in 2 ...
Population genetics OMIM Nicholson et al. (2001) found that 3 Australian families of English extraction and 3 English families had the same SPTLC1 mutation (605712.0002), the same chromosome 9 haplotype, and the same phenotype. They therefore concluded that the Australian and ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews The clinical diagnosis of hereditary sensory neuropathy type IA (HSN1A) is based on presence of the following:...
Clinical Description GeneReviews Hereditary sensory neuropathy type IA (HSN1A) is usually first noticed when painless injuries appear. Onset ranges from the teens to the sixth decade. Later, positive sensory phenomena occur (numbness, paresthesia, burning, and shooting pains). Shooting pains may be a distinctive but variable feature of HSN1. ...
