Abstract
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most common inherited motor and sensory neuropathy. We have previously described a large Chinese CMT family and assigned the locus underlying the disease (CMT2L; OMIM 608673) to chromosome 12q24. Here, we report a novel c.423G-->T (Lys141Asn) missense mutation of small heat-shock protein 22-kDa protein 8 (encoded by HSPB8), which is also responsible for distal hereditary motor neuropathy type (dHMN) II. No disease-causing mutations have been identified in another 114 CMT families.Entities:
