Thirty-nine patients from six families with hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type I and control subjects were included in this study. A neurological deficit score (NDS) was derived from a neurological examination and compared with neurophysiological test findings. Further, sensory nerve conduction velocities (SNCV) were compared with the motor nerve conduction velocities (MNCV). Five patients whom peaks of N11/N13 complex and N20 of the median nerve sensory evoked potential (SEP) could be recorded showed normal interpeak latency. The interpeak separation P14-N20 measured in six patients was normal. These findings point to the normal function of the central conductive pathways. Erb and cervical potentials of the median nerve SEP could be recorded in 10% and 12% of the patients, respectively. In contrast, about half of the patients showed a scalp N20, while in most of them no SNCV could be measured. In six patients far-field potential P14 of the median nerve SEP was the first detectable potential. Therefore, we argue in view of the anatomical structure of the thalamus, that the first generator for synchronizing and amplification of impulses is probably located in the thalamus. A third of the patients had a cortical sural nerve SEP, while no sural nerve potentials could be recorded. No association was found between the SEP findings and the NDS. There was an inverse correlation between median SNCV and the NDS, but no relationship between the former and sensory deficit alone. In 40% of the patients median SNCV and in 13% sural SNCV could be recorded and considered to be severely decreased.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D002607 Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease A hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy transmitted most often as an autosomal dominant trait and characterized by progressive distal wasting and loss of reflexes in the muscles of the legs (and occasionally involving the arms). Onset is usually in the second to fourth decade of life. This condition has been divided into two subtypes, hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) types I and II. HMSN I is associated with abnormal nerve conduction velocities and nerve hypertrophy, features not seen in HMSN II.
