Abstract excerpt
Distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN) is an inherited neuromuscular disease characterized by symmetric distal weakness and atrophy without sensory changes. There are about thirty known genes associated with dHMN, but together they explain only about a third of cases. Mutations in the sigma non-opioid intracellular receptor 1 gene (SIGMAR1) has been linked to autosomal recessive dHMN with pyramidal signs in...
