They are divided into four primary subcategories: hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, hereditary sensory neuropathy, hereditary motor neuropathy and hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy. The most common type is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a type of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy.
