Human Gene Set: HP_IMPAIRED_DISTAL_TACTILE_SENSATION


Standard name HP_IMPAIRED_DISTAL_TACTILE_SENSATION
Systematic name M36953
Brief description Impaired distal tactile sensation
Full description or abstract A reduced sense of touch (tactile sensation) on the skin of the distal limbs. This is usually tested with a wisp of cotton or a fine camel's hair brush, by asking patients to say 'now' each time they feel the stimulus. [https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0736-9199]
