distal hereditary motor neuropathy type 7 (MONDO_0015355) is a rare, slowly progressive genetic peripheral neuropathy characterized by distal atrophy and weakness affecting the upper limbs (with a predilection for the thenar eminence) and subsequently the lower limbs, associated with uni- or bilateral vocal cord paresis leading to hoarse voice and breathing difficulties, and facial weakness. Also known as: dHMN7, distal spinal muscular atrophy with vocal cord paralysis.
