 Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is manifested by a spectrum of phenotypes, from the classical HNPP course associated with intermittent nerve palsies to a neuropathy resembling Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1 (CMT1) disease. The majority of HNPP cases are associated with submicroscopical deletions in the 17p11.2-p12 region containing the PMP22 gene, while PMP22 point mutations are rare, representing about 15% of HNPP cases. In this study, we present a patient manifesting with atypical HNPP phenotype associated with a new Thr99fsX110 mutation in the PMP22 gene. We conclude that all patients who fulfill the electrophysiological criteria of HNPP, even if they lack the typical HNPP phenotype, should be tested for point mutations in the PMP22 gene.

Little is known about the molecular background of clinical variability of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1A (CMT1A) disease and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP). The CMT1A and HNPP disorders result from duplication and deletion of the PMP22 gene respectively. In a series of studies performed on affected animal transgenic models of CMT1A disease, expression of the PMP22 gene (gene dosage) was shown to correlete with severity of CMT course (gene dosage effect). In this study we hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located within the 5' regulatory sequence of PMP22 gene may be responsible for the CMT1A/HNPP clinical variability. We have sequenced the PMP22 5' upstream regulatory sequence in a group of 45 CMT1A/HNPP patients harboring the PMP22 duplication (37) /deletion (8). We have identified five SNPs in the regulatory sequence of the PMP22 gene. Three of them i.e. -819C>T, -4785G>T, -4800C>T were detected both in the patients and in the control group. Thus, their pathogenic role in the regulation of the expression of the PMP22 gene seems not to be significant. Two SNPs i.e. -4210T>C and -4759T>A were found only in the CMT patients. Their role in the regulation of the PMP22 gene expression can not be excluded. Additionally we have detected the Thr118Met variant in exon 4 of the PMP22 gene, which was previously reported by other authors, in one patient. We conclude that the 5' regulatory sequence of the PMP22 gene is conserved at the nucleotiode level, however rarely occurring SNPs variant in the PMP22 regulatory sequence may be associated with the gene dosage effect.

Mutations in the myelin protein zero (MPZ) gene are the third most frequent cause of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies (HMSN), also called Charcot–Marie–Tooth disorders (CMT). Only in case of recurrent mutations occurring in the MPZ gene is it possible to draw phenotype–genotype correlations essential for establishing the prognosis and outcomes of CMT1. We have surveyed a cohort of 67 Polish patients from CMT families with demyelinating neuropathy for mutations in the MPZ gene. In this study, we report two CMT families in which the Ile135Thr and Pro132Leu mutations have been identified for the MPZ gene. These MPZ gene mutations had not been identified hitherto in the Polish population. The Pro132Leu mutation segregates with a severe early-onset dysmyelinating–hypomyelinating neuropathy, whereas the Ile135Thr substitution is associated with the classical phenotype of CMT1. To the best of our knowledge, we present here, for the first time, morphological data obtained in two sural nerve biopsies pointing to a hypomyelination–dysmyelination process in a family harboring the Pro132Leu mutation in the MPZ gene.
