Congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy (CHN) is a rare congenital neuropathy, often accompanied by arthrogryposis, that is characterized by prenatal onset, areflexia, hypotonia, hypomyelination, and slowed nerve conduction velocities. Previous reports of genetic analyses of patients have described mutations in genes known to be important in myelination.
