Neuropathy, Hereditary Motor And Sensory, Type Vib; Hmsn6b

Description

Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type VIB is an autosomal recessive complex progressive neurologic disorder characterized mainly by early-onset optic atrophy resulting in progressive visual loss and peripheral axonal sensorimotor neuropathy with highly variable age at onset and severity. Affected individuals also have cerebellar or pontocerebellar atrophy on brain imaging, and they may show abnormal movements, such as ataxia, dysmetria, and myoclonus. The most severely affected patients are hypotonic at birth and die in infancy (summary by Abrams et al., 2015 and Wan et al., 2016).For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of HMSN6, see HMSN6A (OMIM ).
