[Peripheral Nerve: Cause and Pathology of Inherited Peripheral Neuropathy].

Inherited peripheral neuropathies (IPN) are classified as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN), hereditary motor neuropathy (HMN), or hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy (HSAN) based on clinical symptoms. Many IPN are accompanied by central nervous system disorders, such as spastic paraplegia and cerebellar ataxia. With the development of genetic analysis, the causes of IPN continue to be elucidated. This article describes the causative genes and pathologies identified to date.
