Abstract:
Summary A pedigree with a new form of hereditary sensory neuropathy is described. Ataxia and scoliosis rather than loss of pain and ulcerating acropathy are the principal clinical features. Analysis of the pedigree suggests a dominant mode of transmission with variable age of onset and perhaps reduced penetrance.
