De novo Ser72Leu mutation in the peripheral myelin protein 22 in two Polish patients with a severe form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

چکیده
To date, 12 cases of heterozygous Ser72Leu mutations in the peripheral myelin protein 22 have been reported in patients suffering from severe demyelinating form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT1) and congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy (CHN) [MIM# 605253]. In the present study we report two cases of de novo S72L mutations in the PMP22 gene detected in patients of Polish origin suffering from CMT1 disease.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common hereditary neuropathy of the peripheral nervous system with a wide range of severity and age of onset. CMT patients share similar phenotypes which make it often impossible to identify the disease types based on clinical presentation and electrophysiological studies alone. In recent years, novel genetic diagnostic approaches such as whole exom...
متن کاملINF2 mutations in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease with glomerulopathy.
BACKGROUND Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy has been reported to be associated with renal diseases, mostly focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). However, the common mechanisms underlying the neuropathy and FSGS remain unknown. Mutations in INF2 were recently identified in patients with autosomal dominant FSGS. INF2 encodes a formin protein that interacts with the Rho-GTPase CDC42 and myelin ...

A European collaboration on Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1 (CMT1) disease and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) was established to estimate the duplication and deletion frequency, respectively, on chromosome 17p11.2 and to make an inventory of mutations in the myelin genes, peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22), myelin protein zero (MPZ) and connexin 32 (Cx32) located o...
متن کاملPathology of a mouse mutation in peripheral myelin protein P0 is characteristic of a severe and early onset form of human Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1B disorder
Mutations in the gene of the peripheral myelin protein zero (P0) give rise to the peripheral neuropathies Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1B disease (CMT1B), Déjérine-Sottas syndrome, and congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy. To investigate the pathomechanisms of a specific point mutation in the P0 gene, we generated two independent transgenic mouse lines expressing the pathogenic CMT1B missense muta...
متن کاملClinical and electrophysiological features in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease with mutations in the NEFL gene.
BACKGROUND To date, 13 different neurofilament light-chain polypeptide gene (NEFL) mutations have been identified in 55 patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) from 16 families. NEFL mutations were found to be associated with axonal and demyelinating variants of CMT. OBJECTIVES To describe the clinical features of 11 patients with CMT and NEFL mutations and to explore possible genotyp...
