Symbol HSAN6
Location 14q24.3
Name hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy, type VI
Other name(s) neuropathy, hereditary sensory and autonomic, type IC
Corresponding gene SPTLC2
Other symbol(s) HSAN1C
Main clinical features
  • neuropathy presenting from the second decade of life onwards, with prominent sensory involvement and a variable degree of motor and autonomic dysfunction
  • neurological phenotype often complicated by severe infections, osteomyelitis, and amputations; on nerve conduction testing, sensory nerve action potentials are typically severely reduced to absent with relative preservation of nerve conduction velocities, classifying HSAN-I as an axonal neuropathy
  • Genetic determination autosomal dominant
    Function/system disorder neurology
    Type disease
