Living with Autosomal dominant slowed nerve conduction velocity
A rare inherited nerve condition in which nerve signals travel slowly, usually without obvious symptoms.
Understanding Autosomal dominant slowed nerve conduction velocity
Nerve tests show slow signals, but people have no clearly noticeable nerve problems, walking changes, or muscle wasting. It involves nerves for both movement and feeling. Onset is listed as adulthood.
Signs & symptoms
GARD doesn't list specific symptoms for this condition. The summary notes that people have no clearly noticeable symptoms.
- Slowed nerve signals on testing
- No clearly noticeable nerve problems
- No changes in the way of walking
- No muscle wasting
Not everyone has every symptom. GARD's list comes from the Human Phenotype Ontology.
Diagnosis
- 1Talk with your doctor
Share the symptoms you've noticed, when they started and your family health history. Notes and photos can help.
- 2See a specialist
Specialists who may be involved include brain and nervous system specialists and genetic specialists.
- 3Consider genetic testing
Changes in ARHGEF10 are linked to this condition. Genetic testing and counseling can help confirm a diagnosis and explain what it means for your family.
- 4Connect with expert centers
The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy may keep lists of experts for this condition.

Everyday life
Living with a rare condition is easier with support.
- Connect with The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy and other patient organizations
- Keep notes on symptoms, changes and questions for appointments
- Ask about patient registries that help research
- Look into financial aid and travel resources for care visits
Quick facts
It is linked to changes in the ARHGEF10 gene. It is autosomal dominant, so a change in one copy of the gene can cause it.
