==Diagnosis==
The diagnosis is established by [[electromyography]] examination (which shows that the velocity of nerve impulse conduction is decreased and the time required to charge the nerve is increased) and nerve [[biopsy]].  [[Genetic marker]]s have been identified for some, but not all forms of the disease.
