    AbstractA Chinese family manifested mild neurogenic atrophy of the distal muscles of the upper limbs. None of the affected members had sensory abnormalities, or pyramidal tract or bulbar involvement. The onset of the illness was in the middle of the second decade of life. The muscle atrophy was more severe in the female members. Electromyographic examination of the atrophic muscles showed evidence denervation. One female patient demonstrated slow motor conduction velocity in the right median nerve.
