Preferred Label : Neuropathy, hereditary sensory, type iic;
Symbol : HSN2C;
CISMeF acronym : HSN2C;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : HSN2C is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by onset in the first decade
of progressive distal sensory loss leading to ulceration and amputation of the fingers
and toes. Affected individuals also develop distal muscle weakness, primarily affecting
the lower limbs (summary by Riviere et al., 2011). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity
of HSN, see HSAN1 (162400).;
