| Syndrome with the association of an axonal sensory and autonomic neuropathy and spastic paraplegia. So far, around nine families have been described in the literature, together with a few sporadic cases. Onset occurs between 1 and 5 years of age with spasticity and progressive severe loss of temperature and pain sensation associated with ulcero-mutilating acropathy. Linkage to chromosome 5q15.31-14.1 was identified in a consanguineous Moroccan family with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Early reports suggested autosomal dominant inheritance but transmission in more recently described families appeared to be autosomal recessive. |
