Clinical and morphological variability of the E396K mutation in the neurofilament light chain gene in patients with Charcot-Marie- Tooth disease type 2E.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the neurofilament light chain (NEFL) gene mostly cause autosomal dominant axonal Charcot-Marie- Tooth neuropathy (CMT2E). The mutation c.1186G>A, p.E396K has been reported in seven unrelated families so far, however, the phenotypic spectrum has not been fully elucidated. Here we describe nine patients with the E396K mutation who had a strikingly discordant clinical severity. The clinical picture in...
