Other hereditary and idiopathic neuropathies - what does this mean
Other hereditary and idiopathic neuropathies are a group of neurological disorders caused by changes in the structure and/or function of the peripheral nervous system. they are typically inherited in an autosomal dominant or recessive pattern, but can also occur spontaneously in individuals without a family history of the disorder. symptoms vary depending on the type of neuropathy, but may include muscle weakness, numbness, and tingling.
What happens during the disease - other hereditary and idiopathic neuropathies
Other hereditary and idiopathic neuropathies are a group of disorders characterized by progressive damage to the peripheral nerves, which can be caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors. in some cases, the cause of the nerve damage is unknown, making it an idiopathic neuropathy. hereditary neuropathies are caused by genetic mutations that can be passed down from parent to child. these mutations can affect the production of proteins or enzymes that are essential for the structural integrity of the peripheral nerves, leading to nerve damage and the associated symptoms.
