The two common forms of HMSN are either Hypertrophic Demyelinated Nerves or complete atrophy of neutral tissues. Hypertrophic condition causes neutral stiffness and a demyelination of nerves in the peripheral nervous system while atrophy causes the breakdown of axons and neural cell bodies. HMSN usually have onset in early childhood or young adulthood. It is not fatal or life threatening.
Cause of HMSN
The disease is known to be hereditary. Chromosomes 17 and 1 are the most common chromosomes with mutations. HMSN occurs when there are mutations in the genes that affect the nerves in feet, legs, hands and arms. The chance of a child getting HMSN is 50% if one parent has it.
Symptoms of HMSN
There is slow distal muscle weakness and atrophy with or without sensory loss resulting in difficulty in walking, numbness, foot drop and foot deformitylike high arched feet and hammer toes/curled toes,frequent tripping and falling, depressed tendon reflexes, muscle cramps, pains and scoliosis. Individuals with CMT shows symmetric, slowly progressive distal motor neuropathy of arms and legs resulting in weakness and atrophy of muscles in feet and hands.
Motor symptoms are more predominant than sensory symptoms. Most common symptoms include fatigue, lack of balance, lack of reflexes, lack of sight and hearing.
Diagnosis of HMSN

The type and severity of HMSN is diagnosed with EMGs (Electromyography) and Motor Nerve Conduction Tests. Nerve Biopsy may also be done. DNA blood tests or genetic testing are also done in specific cases.
