Article Synopsis
- HNPP is an inherited neuropathy linked to a deficiency of the PMP-22 protein, resulting from deletions or mutations on chromosome 17, leading to recurrent nerve issues, particularly in areas prone to pressure.
- The study aimed to examine the presence of pain in HNPP patients and assess small nerve fiber function through quantitative sensory testing (QST) and sudomotor function tests.
- Among the 19 patients evaluated, many reported numbness and signs of general neuropathy, while a subset experienced various types of pain, particularly in the feet, highlighting potential dysfunction in small nerve fibers.
