Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy Type 1 (HSAN1) is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited neuropathy, clinically characterized initially by a loss of distal peripheral sensory and motoneuronal function. Mutations in subunits of serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) have been linked to the majority of HSAN1 cases.
Since 1990 the Deater Foundation has been dedicated to funding HSAN1 research to find a treatment and a cure for the genetic neuromuscular disease Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy Type 1 (HSAN1).
The Deater Family has been involved in research on this disease since 1938. For us, this is personal. At least 6 generations of our family have been diagnosed with HSAN1.
