Abstract

In contrast to adulthood, in childhood hereditary neuropathies occur more frequently than acquired ones. In this context an inconspicuous family history in no way excludes a hereditary cause. Due to the consequences for treatment, in every case extensive clarification and exclusion diagnostics are meaningful. New diagnostic tools, in particular high throughput genetic procedures, have essentially changed the diagnostic approach and biopsic procedures have mostly been superseded. The main aim of the diagnostic approach is to ensure that treatable diseases are not overlooked. Despite the advances made in molecular genetics and laboratory diagnostics, aprecise clinical classification of the symptoms is still urgently needed in order to arrive at a valid diagnosis.
