Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Distal hereditary motor neuropathies (dHMN) and distal spinal muscular atrophies (DSMA) are nowadays collectively referred to as Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) hereditary neuropathies. In dHMN, motor symptoms are exclusively present, manifesting in the distal muscle groups. Muscle atrophy and paresis in the lower extremities are quite prominent. However, there are also forms that preferentially affect the arm or hand muscles. Clinically and genetically, there are transitions to DSMA, which by definition show neither pathological abnormalities in the peripheral nervous system nor neurogenic remodeling processes in the affected muscles on electrophysiological or histological examination. BSCL2 mutations account for a high proportion of autosomal dominant inherited forms in dHMN/DSMA and cause a wide clinical spectrum from CMT2 to dHMN to spastic paraplegia type 17. HSPB1 and HSPB8 mutations are found in 5-8% of dHMN cases. Overall, the genetic yield in dHMN/DSMA is ~40%. Therefore, a negative molecular genetic finding by no means excludes the clinical diagnosis.

Laboratory requirement

  • Die in grün gezeigten Gene sind kuratiert und werden als Gen-Panel untersucht. Eine Erweiterung des Panels (blau gezeigte Gene, jeweils ebenfalls kuratiert) kann auf Anfrage erfolgen. Sofern unter "Erweitertes Panel" ein Minuszeichen angezeigt wird, sind nur Core-/Basis-Gene verfügbar.

  • Für die Anforderung einer genetischen Untersuchung senden Sie uns bitte die Krankheits-ID auf einem Überweisungsschein. Bitte die Material-Angabe beachten.

  • Für privat versicherte Patienten empfehlen wir einen Antrag auf Kostenübernahme bei der Krankenversicherung.

  • Die Untersuchung wird auch für Selbstzahler angeboten.
