Abstract
Purpose of review: Inherited peripheral neuropathies can be divided into those diseases in which peripheral neuropathy is the sole or main feature of the disease (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease) and those in which peripheral neuropathy is just one feature of a more complex syndrome. In recent years there has been a substantial expansion in the number of genes associated with complex neuropathy syndromes.
Recent findings: This review will focus on emerging themes in this group of diseases, namely the increasing number of diseases due to repeat expansions; the emergence of both recessive and dominant negative alleles in the same gene producing a common phenotype and diseases in which there is selective loss of the allele from haematopoietic stem cells making genetic diagnosis on blood derived DNA problematic.
Summary: In this review we provide a practical approach to investigating and diagnosing patients with peripheral neuropathy as part of a complex syndrome and provide an updated table of the genes associated with this group of diseases.
综述的目的:遗传性周围神经病可分为以周围神经病为唯一或主要特征的疾病(夏科-玛丽-牙病)和以周围神经病为更复杂综合征特征的疾病。近年来,与复杂神经病综合征相关的基因数量大幅增加:本综述将重点关注这类疾病中新出现的主题,即由于重复扩增而导致的疾病数量不断增加;同一基因中隐性和显性阴性等位基因的出现产生了共同的表型,以及造血干细胞中等位基因的选择性缺失使得根据血液中的 DNA 进行基因诊断成为难题。摘要:在本综述中,我们提供了一种实用的方法,用于调查和诊断作为复杂综合征一部分的周围神经病患者,并提供了与这类疾病相关的最新基因表。
