Clinical and Genetic Characterization of Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy Type IV in a Consanguineous Population: Identification of Novel NTRK1 Variants and Expansion of Phenotypic Spectrum.

Abstract excerpt

Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type IV (HSAN4) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by anhidrosis and congenital insensitivity to pain caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in NTRK1. The condition develops because of dorsal root and autonomic ganglion neurodegeneration, which ultimately results in reduced sensation and autonomic neurological dysfunction.
