Abstract :
[en] Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) with autosomal recessive inheritance represents a genetically heterogeneous group of disorders with variable clinical, pathologic and electrophysiologic manifestations. A new variant of autosomal recessive HMSN, clinically defined by sensorimotor polyneuropathy associated with deafness and mental retardation, has recently been described. We report on the first autopsy case with this type of HMSN: a girl of non-consanguineous parents with a presumably autosomal recessive type of motor and sensory neuropathy clinically associated with deafness, mental retardation, and epilepsy. The autopsy showed complete absence of large myelinated fibers in peripheral motor and sensory nerves corresponding to a lack of large neurons in dorsal root ganglia and anterior horns of the spinal cord, moderate neurogenic muscle atrophy, and nearly complete absence of neurons in the dentate nucleus of the cerebellum. Molecular genetic analyses in our case revealed neither genetic alterations in the survival motor neuron gene nor in the PMP-22 gene.
