A clinical and electrophysiological study was performed in 119 Type 1A Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT1A) patients with proven 17p11.2 duplication. Onset of the first functional manifestations was in the first decade in 50% of cases and before the age of 20 years in 70% of cases. The predominant clinical signs were muscle weakness and wasting in the lower limbs. None of the patients was normal...
We analyzed clinical and pathological disease in 2 peripheral myelin protein-22 (PMP22) overexpressing mouse models for 1.5 years. C22 mice have 7 and C3-PMP mice have 3 to 4 copies of the human PMP22 gene. C3-PMP mice showed no overt clinical signs at 3 weeks and developed mild neuromuscular impairment; C22 mice showed signs at 3 weeks that progressed to severe impairment. Adult C3-PMP mice ha...
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common form of inherited motor and sensory neuropathy. Moreover, CMT is a genetically heterogeneous disorder of the peripheral nervous system, with many genes identified as CMT-causative. CMT has two usual classifications: type 1, the demyelinating form (CMT1); and type 2, the axonal form (CMT2). In addition, patients are classified as CMTX if they ...
Gas3/PMP22 is a tetraspan membrane protein highly expressed in myelinating Schwann cells. Point mutations in the gas3/PMP22 gene account for the dominant inherited peripheral neuropathies Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1A disease (CMT1A) and Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (DSS). Gas3/PMP22 can regulate apoptosis and cell spreading in cultured cells. Gas3/PMP22 point mutations, which are responsible for the...
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is caused by an increased dosage of the peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) gene or by point mutations affecting the same gene. Based on in vitro data, PMP22 might be involved, besides in its proven role in the regulation of myelination and myelin maintenance, in the control of Schwann cell proliferation and programmed cell death. In this report, we ...
BACKGROUND Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT) affects one in 2500 people. Genetic testing is often pursued for family planning purposes, natural history studies and for entry into clinical trials. However, identifying the genetic cause of CMT can be expensive and confusing to patients and physicians due to locus heterogeneity. METHODS We analyzed data from more than 1000 of our patients to ide...
Isochromosomes are monocentric or dicentric chromosomes with homologous arms that are attached in a reverse configuration as mirror images. With an incidence of 3-4%, the i(17q) represents the most frequent isochromosome in human cancer. It is found in a variety of tumors, particularly in blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML-BC), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NH...
BACKGROUND In overwork weakness (OW), muscles are increasingly weakened by exercise, work or daily activities. Although it is a well-established phenomenon in several neuromuscular disorders, it is debated whether it occurs in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). Dominant limb muscles undergo a heavier overload than non-dominant and therefore if OW occurs we would expect them to become weaker. Fo...
