Abstract
We describe two siblings with hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) type III. Their parents were both affected with autosomal dominant axonal HMSN. The neuropathy in the siblings probably resulted from homozygous expression of the HMSN II gene. Together with other reports of homozygous HMSN I, this family suggests that HMSN III is heterogenous and encompasses the most severe homozygous expression of neuropathic genes.
