The large degree of clinical heterogeneity within each of the major categories of
inherited neuropathies can lead to difficulties in making correct diagnoses based
on clinical findings alone. The observation of key clinical findings coupled with
electrophysiological findings and understanding of inheritance patterns, should
allow the clinician to make judicious use of genetic testing to confirm the
clinical diagnosis. An understanding of the clinical and electrophysiological
nature of these disorders, as well as an understanding of how to clinically
distinguish the inherited conditions from acquired conditions, is imperative to
this process.
