Analysis of serum immunoglobulins in hereditary sensory radicular neuropathy.

Serum and salivary immunoglobulins were studied in 11 members of a family including 3 patients with hereditary sensory radicular neuropathy (HSRN) in 1 of whom serum immunoglobulins were measured over a period of about 6 years. It was confirmed that serum IgA and IgG levels rose as the disease progressed. Although our results do not agree, in part, with the findings of Whitaker et al. (1974) who reported an increase in IgA alone, the present study suggested that such dysimmunoglobulinaemia deserves further study. Whether dysimmunoglobulinaemia is a primary phenomenon related to the development of HSRN or simply a secondary change remains to be further explored.
