In this issue of the Journal, Frasquet et al. report on the genetic spectrum of a large cohort of patients with distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN) from two large centres in Spain¹. All patients underwent detailed clinical assessment by experts in neuromuscular disease and are likely to have an accurate diagnosis. As the centre in Valencia provides all neuromuscular services for a defined geographical area, these two factors have allowed the authors to calculate a population prevalence for dHMN.

拓宽远端遗传性运动神经病的遗传谱

在本期杂志中，Frasquet等人。西班牙两个大型中心的一大群远端遗传性运动神经病 (dHMN) 患者的遗传谱报告¹。所有患者都接受了神经肌肉疾病专家的详细临床评估，并可能得到准确的诊断。由于瓦伦西亚的中心为特定地理区域提供所有神经肌肉服务，这两个因素使作者能够计算 dHMN 的人群患病率。
