Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type II (HSAN-II) is caused by recessive
mutations in the HSN2 gene assigned to chromosome 12p13. 33. The authors report three
unrelated HSAN-II families with homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations resulting
in the truncation of the HSN2 protein. Genotype–phenotype correlations indicated that HSN2
mutations are associated with an early childhood onset of a predominantly sensory
neuropathy, complicated by acromutilations in both upper and lower limbs.
