Genetics of Peripheral Neuropathies

medizinischegenetik 3 - 2020
Wissenschaftliche Koordination: Ingo Kurth
Kurze Zusammenfassung
Peripheral neuropathy, the result of damage mostly to peripheral motor and sensory nerves, often causes muscle weakness, numbness and pain, usually beginning in the hands and feet. Autonomic nerves that control blood pressure, heart rate, digestion and bladder function may also be affected. Peripheral neuropathies, or polyneuropathies, are relatively common with an estimated prevalence in the general population of 2.5 %, and as high as 8 % at over 55 years of age. The causes are manifold and include immunological, metabolic, toxic or infectious as well as hereditary etiologies with many different genes being involved. In this issue the journal medizinischegenetik deals with the different aspects of heritable neuropathies.
