Three cousins with chronic foot ulcers from late-onset hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies type 2 (HSAN2).

The hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies (HSAN) are a group of rare disorders characterized by prominent sensory and autonomic neuropathy without motor involvement. We report three male cousins with chronic foot ulcers, all were affected with late-onset HSAN type 2 (HSAN2). In view of the history of consanguinity and male sex, X-linked recessive transmission was likely in our patients. According to the authors' knowledge this is the first report of HSAN2 from Iran.
