Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type II (HSAN2) is characterized by progressively reduced sensation to pain, temperature, and touch. Onset can be at birth and is often before puberty. The sensory deficit is predominantly distal with the lower limbs more severely affected than the upper limbs. Over time sensory function becomes severely reduced. Unnoticed injuries and neuropathic skin promote ulcerations and infections that result in spontaneous amputation of digits or the need for surgical amputation. Osteomyelitis is common. Painless fractures can complicate the disease. Autonomic disturbances are variable and can include hyperhidrosis, tonic pupils, and urinary incontinence in those with more advanced disease. [from GeneReviews]

An instance of sensory peripheral neuropathy that is caused by an inherited modification of the individual's genome. [from MONDO]

A type of pituitary adenoma that produces growth hormone. [from HPO]

A malignant neoplasm that occurs in the diencephalon. [from NCI]

A fluid-filled sacs that develop on or near the pituitary gland. [from HPO]
