Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: In severely affected inherited polyneuropathy patients, primary demyelination can be difficult to determine by routine extremity limb nerve conduction studies (NCS). Blink reflexes may help classify severe polyneuropathies as either axonal or demyelinating. However, blink reflex studies have not been studied systematically in any genetically confirmed cohort. METHODS: Patients with a genetic...
