Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy Type 1 (HSAN1) is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited neuropathy, clinically characterized initially by a loss of distal peripheral sensory and motoneuronal function. Mutations in subunits of serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) have been linked to the majority of HSAN1 cases.
