Abstract

The latter group encompasses a very large group of disorders and although there have been major advances in both the diagnosis and the treatment of some of these disorders (e.g., liver transplantation for familial amyloid polyneuropathy, FAP), this review will concentrate on CMT and the related disorders of hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy (HSAN) and distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN), as these are the commonest worldwide. [...] the era of specific treatment for genetic neuropathies is now here.
