Four novel point mutations in the PMP22 gene with phenotypes of HNPP and Dejerine-Sottas neuropathy.

Abstract excerpt

We report four novel point mutations in the PMP22 gene with two different phenotypes: mutation p.Ser79Thr arose de novo in a patient with the Dejerine-Sottas neuropathy (DSN) phenotype; and mutations c.78+5 G>A, c.320-1 G>C, and p.Trp140Stop segregated with HNPP in 5 families.Our findings show that point mutations in PMP22 may be more likely in HNPP patients than in CMT1 patients after exclusion of CMT1A/HNPP.
