Abstract:
:Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT 1A) is an autosomal dominant demyelinating polyneuropathy associated with a 1.5-Mb duplication of the p11.2-p12 region of chromosome 17, including the peripheral myelin protein-22 (PMP-22) gene (CMT 1A duplication). We report a male patient with a de novo CMT 1A diagnosed on clinical, electrophysiologic, and molecular grounds. Motor nerve conduction velocity (MCV) of the patient was 10.9 m/s in the ulnar nerve. The MCV of both his parents was within the normal range. Southern blot analysis of BamHI digestion showed reduced intensity rate of SF85/PMP-22, indicating CMT 1A duplication. Haplotype analysis with pVAW4093a, demonstrated that the de novo CMT 1A duplication was of paternal origin.
