Hereditary neuropathies are a group of peripheral nervous system disorders that are characterized by numbness, tingling, and pain in the feet and/ or hands1. The four main subcategories of hereditary neuropathy include motor, sensory, motor and sensory, or sensory and autonomic. As the name suggests, hereditary neuropathy has a genetic component; however, the degree of severity varies from person to person with some being more severely affected than others.
