Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common inherited neuromuscular disease and is characterized by considerable clinical and genetic heterogeneity. We previously reported a Russian family with autosomal dominant axonal CMT and assigned the locus underlying the disease (CMT2F; OMIM 606595) to chromosome 7q11-q21 (ref. 2). Here we report a missense mutation in the gene encoding 27-kDa small heat-shock protein B1 (HSPB1, also called HSP27) that segregates in the family with CMT2F. Screening for mutations in HSPB1 in 301 individuals with CMT and 115 individuals with distal hereditary motor neuropathies (distal HMNs) confirmed the previously observed mutation and identified four additional missense mutations. We observed the additional HSPB1 mutations in four families with distal HMN and in one individual with CMT neuropathy. Four mutations are located in the Hsp20-alpha-crystallin domain, and one mutation is in the C-terminal part of the HSP27 protein. Neuronal cells transfected with mutated HSPB1

DESIGN: Observational case series. METHODS: A detailed history was obtained and physical examination was made of the extended family of the proband for evidence of neurologic dysfunction. The OPA1 gene was screened for mutations by direct DNA sequencing. RESULTS: Twelve of 97 family members examined are affected with signs of HMSN VI. Three other members have either optic atrophy or peripheral neuropathy, thus allowing an appreciation of the full clinical spectrum of disease. No mutations were found in the OPA1 gene. CONCLUSIONS: This family demonstrates the variable expressivity of ...

Congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy (CHN) is characterized clinically by early onset of hypotonia, areflexia, distal muscle weakness, and very slow nerve conduction velocities. {7,8:Warner et al. (1997, 1998)} noted that pathologic findings on sural nerve biopsies show hypomyelination of most or all fibers. Based on these findings, CHN is considered to be a result of congenital impairment in myelin formation. There has been some controversy and difficulty in differentiating congenital hypomyelination from Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (DSS; {145900}), because there is considerable overlap in clinical presentation. Based on pathologic findings of sural nerve biopsies (the absence of active myelin breakdown and the paucity of the onion bulbs in CHN and the presence of demyelination/remyelination and an abundance of well-organized onion bulbs in DSS; see {1:Balestrini et al., 1991}), CHN is considered to result from a congenital impairment in myelin formation, whereas DSS is thought to be due to ...

Mutations in heat shock 27 kDa protein 1 (HSP27 or HSPB1) cause distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN) or Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 F (CMT2F) according to unknown factors. Mutant HSP27 proteins affect axonal transport by reducing acetylated tubulin. We generated a transgenic mouse model overexpressing HSP27-S135F mutant protein driven by Cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early promoter. The mouse phenotype was similar to dHMN patients in that they exhibit motor neuropathy. To determine the phenotypic aberration of transgenic mice, behavior test, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electrophysiological study, and pathology were performed. Rotarod test showed that founder mice exhibited lowered motor performance. MRI also revealed marked fatty infiltration in the anterior and posterior compartments at calf level. Electrophysiologically, compound muscle action potential (CMAP) but not motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) was reduced in the transgenic mice. Toluidine staining with semi-thin

Three metabolic disorders caused by channel mutations have been described: a renal Fanconi syndrome with mutations in NaPi-IIa causing impaired renal phosphate reabsorption (Magen et al., 2010, N Engl J Med 362:1102-09). ATP7A, encoding a copper transporter causing Menkes disease and occipital horn syndrome, can also be the cause of X-Linked Distal Hereditary Motor Neuropathy (Kennerson et al., 2010, Am J Hum Genet 86:343-52). Also, a susceptibility to thyrotoxic hypokaliemic paralysis can be caused by mutations in potassium channel Kir2.6 (Ryan et al., 2010, Cell 140:88-98).. Posted by Philippe Campeau, MD. ...

Spinal muscular atrophies (SMA, also known as hereditary motor neuropathies) and hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies (HMSN) are clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders of the peripheral nervous system. Here we report that mutations in the TRPV4 gene cause congenital distal SMA, scapuloperoneal SMA, HMSN 2C. We identified three missense substitutions (R269H, R315W and R316C) affecting the intracellular N-terminal ankyrin domain of the TRPV4 ion channel in five families. Expression of mutant TRPV4 constructs in cells from the HeLa line revealed diminished surface localization of mutant proteins. In addition, TRPV4-regulated Ca(2+) influx was substantially reduced even after stimulation with 4alphaPDD, a TRPV4 channel-specific agonist, and with hypo-osmotic solution. In summary, we describe a new hereditary channelopathy caused by mutations in TRPV4 and present evidence that the resulting substitutions in the N-terminal ankyrin domain affect channel maturation, leading to reduced ...

Hereditary Sensory and Motor Neuropathy: A group of slowly progressive inherited disorders affecting motor and sensory peripheral nerves. Subtypes include HMSNs I-VII. HMSN I and II both refer to CHARCOT-MARIE-TOOTH DISEASE. HMSN III refers to hypertrophic neuropathy of infancy. HMSN IV refers to REFSUM DISEASE. HMSN V refers to a condition marked by a hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy associated with spastic paraplegia (see SPASTIC PARAPLEGIA, HEREDITARY). HMSN VI refers to HMSN associated with an inherited optic atrophy (OPTIC ATROPHIES, HEREDITARY), and HMSN VII refers to HMSN associated with retinitis pigmentosa. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1343)

Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1 disease (CMT1) and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) are common inherited disorders of the peripheral nervous system. The majority of CMT1 patients have a 1.5Mb tandem duplication (CMT1A) in chromosome 17p11.2 while most HNPP patients have a deletion of the same 1.5 Mb region. The CMT1A duplication and HNPP deletion are the reciprocal products of an unequal crossing over event between misaligned flanking CMT1A-REP elements. We analysed 162 unrelated CMT1A duplication patients and HNPP deletion patients from 11 different countries for the presence of a recombination hotspot in the CMT1A-REP sequences. A hotspot for unequal crossing over between the misaligned flanking CMT1A-REP elements was observed through the detection of novel junction fragments in 76.9% of 130 unrelated CMT1A patients and in 71.9% of 32 unrelated HNPP patients. This recombination hotspot was also detected in eight out of 10 de novo CMT1A duplication and in two de novo HNPP

We report a large family with a multigenerational pedigree of HMSN with focally folded myelin sheaths. The family studied allowed us to uncover the genetic findings, clinical spectrum, and natural history of HMSN with focally folded myelin sheaths, and to highlight the significant intrafamily uniformity of clinical presentation.. Focally folded myelin sheaths are the pathologic hallmark of certain hereditary neuropathies of wide clinical spectrum. 11-14,21-26 Of the 23 cases reported, 10 patients came from five families, whereas 13 cases were sporadic. In two cases, an autosomal-dominant mode of inheritance was postulated. 24 The reports of Dayan et al., 27 Nordborg et a1., 28 and Lutschg et al. 29 were not included because published pathologic data were not detailed enough for a comparison with ours.. In our family, the genealogic study showing the high consanguinity rate represents strong evidence in favor of an autosomal-recessive pattern of inheritance, confirming the hypothesis postulated ...

Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies progressively debilitate leg and arm movement and impair sensation. The wide variability in symptoms and genetic etiology, as well as the lethality of known mutations in mice, has delayed the development of model organisms. Francesca Achilli and colleagues made a dominant mutation in glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GARS), which appears in some cases of familial Chariot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) and infantile hereditary motor neuropathy (HMN). The mice have muscle weakness, loss of electrical conduction in neurons, and neuromuscular junction defects. An increasing number of nervous system diseases are linked with tRNA synthetase mutations, and this model should help determine the role of protein translation in these and other similar diseases..

Hereditary polyneuropathies known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) polyneuropathies are genetically heterogeneous group of peripheral nerve disorders characterized by slow progressive weakness and atrophy of distal muscles, associated with mild to moderate sensation loss, weakened tendon reflexes and typical foot deformity. The most common subtypes are CMT1A, HNPP (hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies), CMTX1 and CMT1B. This research examined the type and frequency of mutations in genes involved in myelin construction (PMP22, GJB1 and MPZ) in CMT1 patients by MLPA and gene sequencing method. A total of 13 mutations in the PMP22 and GJB1 genes were found, of which five were new, unpublished. A similar ratio of CMT subtypes in the Republic of Croatia was found as in other European countries with the exception of absence of MPZ mutations. The results of neurograph parameters analysis indicate the differentiation of the demyelinating process and the axons degeneration as two ...

Abstract. BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is the most common type of hereditary neuropathy worldwide and diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most frequent cause of peripheral neuropathy in the Western world. CMT1A typically manifest as a predominant motor neuropathy, whilst, DM-related neuropathy often manifests as a predominant sensory disorder. There are some evidences that CMT1A patients that also had DM had a more severe neuropathy. Though the real frequency and the underlying mechanisms related to this association has not yet been addressed in the literature. We sought to characterize the ...

Oh my giddy aunt. Charcot-Marie-Tooth. When I was diagnosed, I too thought it might be useful to do some research. As it happens, with all the variations and other features, it seems to be an absolute goldmine for PhD candidates. All over the place, there are families and localities with their own barely discernible, finely calibrated differences from other families and other localities. By the time Id got through about 40 papers discussing half a dozen or a couple of hundred individuals and their associated genetic abnormalities, I thought Id had enough. Unless you go the whole hog as Kim Goodsell has done, there seems to be no way to find out what your own particular condition has in store for you. My diagnosis was for the Hereditary Neuropathy with Pressure Palsies version, not the classic Charcot-Marie-Tooth. So how come I had the whole deformed toes, ludicrous instep and wasting leg muscles of the classic diagnosis? As well as seeing my fathers hands deteriorate into the distinctive ...

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the name for a group of inherited disorders of nerve conduction causing weakness and mild loss of sensation in the limbs.. CMT affects the peripheral nerves, those groups of nerve cells carrying information to and from the spinal cord. CMT decreases the ability of these nervesto carry motor commands to muscles, especially those furthest from the spinal cord in the feet and hands. As a result, these muscles are weakened. CMT also causes mild sensory loss.. CMT is named for the three neurologists who first described it, and does notinvolve the teeth in any way. It is also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, and is also sometimes called peroneal muscular atrophy, referring to the muscles in the leg affected early on in the disease.. The symptoms grouped together under the name CMT can be caused by any of at least six different genetic defects. Most of the defects, identified as of early 1998, affect myelin, the coating that insulates nerve cells to ...

Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum (HMSN/ACC; Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man No. 218000) is a severe and progressive autosomal-recessive polyneuropathy associated with hypotonia, mental retardation, dysmorphism, variable degrees of agenesis of the CC, and visual/auditory hallucinations, resulting in death typically during the third decade (Dupré et al., 2003). Our group previously reported that the K+/Cl− cotransporter 3 (KCC3), encoded by the SLC12A6 gene, is disrupted in patients with this disorder (Howard et al., 2002). KCC3 belongs to a family of four K+/Cl− cotransporters that have crucial roles in ion homeostasis, cell volume regulation, and modulation of the cellular responses to GABA during neuronal development (Kahle et al., 2008). Structurally, KCC3 has 12 transmembrane domains and both the N and C termini extend into the cytoplasm (Hiki et al., 1999). The predominant mutation found in HMSN/ACC patients consists of a G ...

The most common type of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type 1, HMSN 1A, is caused by a duplication of the gene for peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP 22), situated on chromosome 17p. We report on a patient with this genotype with bilateral sensorineural deafness.. A 28 year old man presented with progressive distal weakness, numbness, and progressive bilateral hearing loss. He had first noticed problems with running in his early teens and at the age of 13 had two operations to correct bilateral pes cavus. His walking tolerance gradually deteriorated to half a mile unaided. At the age of 24, he had three operations to correct thoracic scoliosis and subsequently noticed progressive weakness of his hands. Since the age of 26 he had been aware of diminished sensation in his feet and progressive bilateral hearing loss. Medical history was unremarkable and he had not been exposed to any relevant drugs or toxins. There was no history of neurological problems among three siblings, his three ...

OMIM : 58 Hereditary neuropathy with or without age-related macular degeneration is a complex autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by a variable peripheral neuropathy resembling demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (see, e.g., CMT1A, 118220) and/or axonal CMT (see, e.g., CMT2A1, 118210) with sensorimotor impairment mainly of the distal lower extremities, or spinal CMT, also known as distal hereditary motor neuropathy (see, e.g., HMN1; 182960) with intact sensation. Age-related macular degeneration, if present, shows very late onset in the seventies or eighties. In addition, some patients may show hyperelasticity of the skin or joints. The age at onset of neuropathy and severity of the disorder is highly variable, even within families (summary by Auer-Grumbach et al., 2011). For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of age-related macular degeneration, see 603075. (608895) ...

Silver syndrome belongs to a group of genetic disorders known as hereditary spastic paraplegias. These disorders are characterized by progressive muscle stiffness (spasticity) and, frequently, development of paralysis of the lower limbs (paraplegia). Hereditary spastic paraplegias are divided into two types: pure and complex. Both types involve the lower limbs; the complex types may also involve the upper limbs, although to a lesser degree. In addition, the complex types may affect the brain and parts of the nervous system involved in muscle movement and sensations. Silver syndrome is a complex hereditary spastic paraplegia.. The first sign of Silver syndrome is usually weakness in the muscles of the hands. These muscles waste away (amyotrophy), resulting in abnormal positioning of the thumbs and difficulty using the fingers and hands for tasks such as handwriting. People with Silver syndrome often have high-arched feet (pes cavus) and spasticity in the legs. The signs and symptoms of Silver ...

Hereditary neuropathies are a group of inherited disorders that affect the peripheral nervous system. 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. ICM offers neurologists a comprehensive range of genetic tests in this area and different diagnostic approaches to suit each individual case. The following can be performed:. Genetic abnormalities are one of the main causes of developmental delay. Early intervention is key to helping to minimise or overcome developmental delay in children. Multiple genes are involved in one way or another in development processes. It is therefore necessary adopt a diagnostic approach in each case to identify the aetiology of each problem.. One of the many panels offered is a global NGS panel for developmental ...

Mutations in the gap junction geneconnexin32(Cx32) cause the X-linked form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, an inherited demyelinating neuropathy. More than 130 different mutations have been described, affecting all portions of the Cx32 protein. In transfected cells, the mutant Cx32 proteins encoded by someCx32mutations fail to reach the cell surface; other mutant proteins reach the cell surface, but only one of these forms functional gap junctions. In peripheral nerve, Cx32 is localized to incisures and paranodes, regions of noncompact myelin within the myelin sheath. This localization suggests that Cx32 forms

Current research projects funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) involve investigations of genetic factors associated with hereditary neuropathies, studies of biological mechanisms involved in diabetes-associated neuropathies, and exploring how the immune system contributes to peripheral nerve damage. The Inherited Neuropathies Consortium seeks to better understand the several different forms of neuropathy and identify genes that modify clinical features in these disorders. Some research focuses on immune system peripheral nerve damage, such as seen in Guillain-Barré syndrome. Other NINDS-sponsored studies hope to identify biomarkers (signs that can indicate the diagnosis or progression of a disease) for the peripheral neuropathies and to develop more effective therapies for these diseases. Other scientists are investigating the pathways by which pain signals reach the brain and hope to identify substances that will block this signaling.. Information from ...

Brachial plexus lesions as a consequence of carrying a heavy backpack have been reported, but the typical clinical course and long-term consequences are not clear. Here we evaluated the clinical course and pattern of recovery of backpack palsy (BPP) in a large series of patients. Thirty-eight consecutive patients with idiopathic BPP were identified from our population of 193,450 Finnish conscripts by means of computerised register. A physiotherapist provided instructions for proper hand use and rehabilitative exercises at disease onset. The patients were followed up for 2 to 8 years from the diagnosis. We also searched for genetic markers of hereditary neuropathy with pressure palsies. Mann-Whitney U-test was used to analyze continuous data. The Fischers exact test was used to assess two-way tables. Eighty percent of the patients recovered totally within 9 months after the onset of weakness. Prolonged symptoms occurred in 15% of the patients, but daily activities were not affected. The weight of the

LHON causes a painless loss of central vision in both eyes, due to the death of optic nerve cells. It leads to blindness in young adults, typically between 12 and 30 years of age. Both eyes are affected at the same time. Males are about 4 times more likely to be affected than females. Males will not pass the gene to any of their children, but females with the mutation will pass it to all of their children, regardless of whether the children are sons or daughters. Many factors affect the development of LHON. Both alcohol and tobacco use are associated with an increased risk for blindness in carriers of the mutation. ...

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2D (CMT2D) is a dominantly inherited peripheral neuropathy caused by missense mutations in the glycyl-tRNA synthetase gene (GARS). In addition to GARS, mutations in three other tRNA synthetase genes cause similar neuropathies, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. To address this, we generated transgenic mice that ubiquitously over-express wild-type GARS and crossed them to two dominant mouse models of CMT2D to distinguish loss-of-function and gain-of-function mechanisms. Over-expression of wild-type GARS does not improve the neuropathy phenotype in heterozygous Gars mutant mice, as determined by histological, functional, and behavioral tests. Transgenic GARS is able to rescue a pathological point mutation as a homozygote or in complementation tests with a Gars null allele, demonstrating the functionality of the transgene and revealing a recessive loss-of-function component of the point mutation. Missense mutations as transgene-rescued homozygotes

Several SLC12A6 mutations leading to ACCPN have been identified, including: ...

Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT), or inherited peripheral neuropathies, are among the most frequent heritable disorders, affecting approximately 1 in 2500 people. The most frequent genetic form of CMT is CMT1A. CMT1A is caused by a 1.4 Mb duplication within chromosome 17p11.2 in the region containing the PMP22 gene. Most subjects with CMT1A have a typical phenotype characterized by onset in childhood or early adulthood, distal weakness, sensory loss, foot deformities and absent reflexes. How increased expression of PMP22 causes these disabilities is unknown but is currently being investigated in both animal and tissue culture systems. In this study, researchers will evaluate whether ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), administered orally, slows clinical progression of CMT1A and affects the PMP22 mRNA levels of myelinated peripheral nerve fibers obtained from biopsies of glabrous skin ...
