Early onset Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease caused by a homozygous Leu239Phe mutation in the GDAP1 gene.

Mutations in the ganglioside -induced differentiation-associated protein 1 (GDAP1) gene are common a cause of the Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT4A) disease with autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. To date more than twenty mutations in the GDAP1 gene have been reported in patients suffering from the demyelinating, axonal or mixed form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Only in a few CMT4A affected patients sural nerve biopsy findings have been provided. We report a homozygous Leu239Phe mutation in the GDAP1 gene in a 39-year-old female with a severe form of mixed axonal and demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.[1]
