title: Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type I, associated with aplasia cutis congenita: possible X-linked inheritance.
abstract: We report a family with possible X-linked recessive HMSN I with minor signs of the disease and abnormal sensory conduction studies evident in female carriers. There is a previously undescribed association with aplasia cutis congenita in both affected males, and a history of a severe skull defect in a third male child, who died at birth. The latter defect usually shows an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance.
