Recurrent brachial plexus palsies as the only clinical expression of hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies associated with a de novo deletion of the peripheral myelin protein-22 gene.

Abstract excerpt

There is phenotypic heterogeneity in patients with hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies. In rare cases, recurrent brachial plexopathy is the only expression of the disease. We describe a patient with three episodes of plexus brachialis palsy and a de novo deletion of the peripheral myelin protein-22 gene. We conclude that DNA analysis is a key issue not only for the differentiation of...
