Invited Review: Expanding the genetic causes of small-fiber neuropathy: SCN genes and beyond-Article

Article

Pdf Summary

SFN is a disorder affecting small nerve fibers, with both genetic and acquired causes. SCN genes, including SCN9A, SCN10A, and SCN11A, are linked to SFN. Other genes such as TRPA1, TRPM3, TRPV3, and FBLN5 also contribute to SFN. Diagnosis involves tests like nerve conduction studies and skin biopsies. Treatment focuses on addressing underlying conditions, and genetic testing is important for identification.
