Abstract

Hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of the peripheral nervous system. Previous segregation analysis in two large pedigrees suggested linkage to distal 17q. Linkage data obtained in the present study investigating a three generation pedigree confirm linkage to 17q24-q25.
