Abstract

Ten members of a Libyan family with peroneal muscular atrophy (hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy) are reported. The clinical and electrophysiological features favoured type I disease. Tile pedigree of tile family revealed an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. The clinical, genetic, and electrophysiological basis for the classification of this disease is discussed.
