Merge with Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease?
IMHO this article should be merged with Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, considering that the only difference is a slightly different classification system.  kashmiri 23:30, 15 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree. The pages contain almost identical information. At the end of the article is stated that HMSN is sometimes equalled to CMT. Are there situations where it is not?  mkljun 17:06, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Yep, they look the same, with the exception of HMSN4 (Refsum disease) which is clearly different to CMT4. However, it is worth noting that some conditions are better known by the name HMSN than CMT because CMT traditionally only referred to what is formally known as CMT1 and CMT2 (= HMSN1 and HMSN2). IMHO it would be good to have an expert view here.  kashmiri 13:24, 22 June 2012 (UTC)


 * HNPP is a HMSN but is different from HMSN. So HMSN is more general than CMT. So in my opninion they shouldn't be merged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.197.125.137 (talk) 18:04, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

This proposal was over a year old with no consensus to do the merge, I deleted the proposed merge. --WGFinley (talk) 02:09, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
