Hereditary motor-sensitive neuropathies , abbreviated to HMSN , are a group of inherited and chronically progressing nerve diseases ( neuropathies ) that only affect the peripheral nerves and predominantly their motor component. The common characteristic is the weakness beginning distally (away from the trunk), gradually spreading centrally, with accompanying muscle wasting ( atrophy ). The old names with proper names are increasingly being abandoned in favor of the following classification (according to Dyck).
