DNA Analysis in Finnish Patients with Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure Palsies (HNPP) JNNP 57:1260-1262, Silander,K.,et al, 1994 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies(HNPP)is a dominantly inherited disorder that presents as recurrent mononeuropathies precipitated by apparently trivial traumas.The presence of a deletion in 17p11-2 was analysed in 13 Finnish families with HNPP.The deletion was found in all patients who were neurologically and neurophysiologically confirmed to have HNPP.In the problematic cases the detection of the gene defect is the method of choice in the diagnosis of HNPP.Analysis of DNA can also be used to detect clinically unaffected family members.
