Clinical case of the new mutation in the GDAP1 gene in the family with hereditary motor-sensory neuropathy 2K

https://doi.org/10.1234/XXXX-XXXX-2015-10-46-48

Abstract

The clinical features of the disease in patients from a Russian family with the dominant hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) due to the new mutation in the GDAP1 gene: s.934G> A (p.Ala312Thr) are described in this article. The main characteristics of the disease: age of onset (2 decade of life), slow progression, mild clinical symptoms (compared to frequent recessive form HMSN4A) and predominantly axonal lesion of the nerve fibers correspond to known form - HMSN2K.
