Abstract excerpt
Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder commonly presenting with acute-onset, non-painful focal sensory and motor mono neuropathy. In 80% of cases, the genetic defect is a 1.5 Mb deletion on chromosome 17p11.2, including PMP22. Only few cases of partial deletion and point mutations in PMP22 are involved in HNPP. We investigated a 62-years-old man...
