Inherited neuropathies are a group of genetic disorders that affect the peripheral nervous system, which includes the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. These conditions can lead to symptoms such as muscle weakness, numbness, and pain, often impacting daily activities. The most common type is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which results from mutations in genes responsible for nerve function. These neuropathies can vary in severity and may progress over time. Diagnosis typically involves clinical evaluation, genetic testing, and nerve conduction studies. While there is no cure, management strategies, including physical therapy and pain relief, can help improve quality of life for affected individuals.
