Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a group of disorders that affect the peripheral nerves of the feet and hands, leading to neuropathy. Symptoms may include weakness, sensory loss, muscle atrophy, balance problems, and foot deformities.
In this study, researchers investigated patient perspectives on disease burden over time in CMT. As part of an international clinical trial readiness study, 215 individuals with CMT type 1A participated in clinical outcome assessments (including the CMT Health Index) to capture changes in patient-reported disease burden over 12 months.
Results show that patient-reported disease burden in CMT type 1A as measured by the CMT Health Index is associated with measures of neurologic impairment and physical functioning. Women reported a higher disease burden than men. Authors note that these data will inform the design of clinical trials in CMT type 1A.

Fennessy JR, Cornett KMD, Donlevy GA, Mckay MJ, Burns J, Menezes MP. Long-term outcomes in children with riboflavin transporter deficiency and surveillance recommendations. Dev Med Child Neurol. 2024 Sep 9. doi: 10.1111/dmcn.16083. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 39252496.
Riboflavin transporter deficiency (RTD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by paralysis of the cranial nerves, sensorineural deafness, and signs of damage to other nerves. Without treatment, children with RTD can experience life-threatening respiratory failure. The only known effective treatment is high-dose oral riboflavin. To provide accurate prognosis information to newly diagnosed families and learn if additional treatments are required, more data is needed about the long-term effects of oral riboflavin supplementation.
In this study, researchers explored the long-term outcomes of children with RTD who were supplemented with high-dose oral riboflavin. The team assessed disease progression in 11 children with RTD, following up each year until they transitioned to adult services.
Results show that children with RTD who were treated early after symptom onset had better long-term outcomes. However, although treatment with riboflavin slowed disease progression, patients were left with residual disability. To track disease progression and treatment response over time, authors recommend regular surveillance using the RTD Pediatric Scale, as well as the provided list of clinical measures.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is one of the most common inherited neurological diseases, with more than 130 disease-causing genes. Although whole-genome sequencing has improved diagnosis across genetic diseases, the impact in CMT has not yet been explored.
In this study, researchers investigated the impact of whole-genome sequencing on the diagnostic rate of CMT. The team reviewed diagnostic results from 1,515 patients with a clinical diagnosis of CMT and related disorders at a single specialist inherited neuropathy center.
Results show a 3.5% increase in the diagnostic rate of participants due to whole-genome sequencing. Although the center’s diagnostic rate is the highest reported, almost one-quarter of all cases are still unsolved. Authors note that a new reference genome and technologies will help to improve diagnosis.

Peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs), also known as Zellweger spectrum, are a group of genetic conditions that affect many parts of the body. PBDs are characterized by failure of the body to produce properly functioning peroxisomes, which are membrane-bound organelles involved in a variety of metabolic reactions. These disorders are usually caused by variants in peroxin (PEX) genes.
In this report, researchers expand the phenotype of peroxisome biogenesis disorders by uncovering a new genetic variant. The team performed whole exome sequencing in two patients presenting with late-onset PBD, including movement disorders noticed at age 34 and 41, respectively.
Results revealed a new PEX11B variant in these patients. Symptoms included dystonia, ataxia, and tremor, which had not been previously described in PBDs. Authors note that movement disorders may only manifest at a later age in patients with PBD.

Distal hereditary motor neuropathies (dHMNs) are a diverse group of rare neuromuscular disorders characterized by muscle weakness and atrophy. Clinical and genetic overlap among hereditary neurological disorders highlights the potential of a shared molecular cause.
In this study, researchers describe a new subtype of recessive dHMN caused by deficiency of the RTN2 protein. The team used exome, genome, and Sanger sequencing techniques coupled with deep-phenotyping to identify and validate seven new or ultra-rare variants in the RTN2 gene in 14 individuals with dHMN.
Findings reveal that this new subtype shares similarities with two other subtypes of dHMN—SIGMAR1-related disorder and Silver-like syndromes. Authors note that this study provides valuable insights on the clinical spectrum and potential therapeutic strategies for RTN2-related dHMN.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is the most common form of hereditary neuropathy. Although all cases of CMT1A are caused by duplications of the PMP22 gene, each case can have significant differences in severity, which may result from genetic modifiers.
In this study, researchers analyzed genetic modifiers to characterize severity in patients with CMT1A. The team reviewed clinical examination results from 1,564 patients in a natural history study conducted by the Inherited Neuropathy Consortium (INC). Next, the team identified extreme cases (mild and severe) among these patients.
Results reveal insights on genetic modifiers that have significant effects on the severity and course of CMT1A. Authors note that the metrics used in this study can also improve patient enrollment strategies for future studies.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A), the most common form of inherited peripheral neuropathy, is caused by duplication of the PMP22 gene. Individuals with CMT1A experience slow nerve conduction velocity (the speed of electrical impulses moving through nerves). Because most patients have nerve conduction rates below 38 meters per second, genetic testing for PMP22 duplication is not usually recommended for those with higher rates.
In this study, researchers report cases of intermediate nerve conduction velocity in two patients with CMT1A. Both individuals had upper limb motor nerve conduction velocities above 38 meters per second. These patients also presented with very mild forms of CMT1A.
Authors note that although these cases are very rare, they highlight the importance of testing PMP22 duplication in patients with intermediate conduction velocities.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A), the most common form of inherited peripheral neuropathy, is caused by a copy number variation (CNV) in the PMP22 gene. In rodent models of CMT1A, overexpression of miR-29a, a type of microRNA, has been shown to reduce the PMP22 transcript and protein level.
In this study, researchers demonstrate for the first time how imbalance in the microRNA-mediated regulation of gene expression can mimic a CNV-associated disease in humans. Study participants included a family of CMT1A patients enrolled in a natural history study.
Authors state that these findings show the importance of miR-29a in regulating PMP22 expression and could lead to development of new therapeutic drugs.

PMID: 37772343
Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 2 (CMT2), also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, is a disorder affecting nerve axons (ends of the nerves) which carry signals from the brain to the extremities. While mutations in the alpha-B-crystallin (CRYAB) gene have been associated with myofibrillar myopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, and cataracts, they have not previously included peripheral neuropathy.
In this study, researchers expand the phenotype (observable characteristics) of CRYAB-related disease to include CMT2. The team performed whole-exome sequencing in two unrelated families with genetically unsolved axonal CMT2, assessing clinical, neurophysiological, and radiological features.
Results identify CRYAB mutations as a cause of CMT2 in these patients. Authors note that CRYAB mutations should be suspected in cases with late-onset CMT2, especially in the presence of congenital cataracts.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4C (CMT4C) is an inherited, degenerative disorder affecting the nerves that travel to the feet and hands. CMT4C is caused by recessive variants in the SH3TC2 gene and characterized by early onset spinal deformities, as well as a wide spectrum of symptoms and severity. Currently, not much is known about the relationship between pathogenic (disease-causing) variants and disease manifestations.
In this study, researchers explored the natural history of CMT4C by gathering genetic and clinical data from the Inherited Neuropathy Consortium (INC). The team examined symptoms, neurological examinations, and neurophysiological characteristics over time in 56 individuals with CMT4C.
The resulting analysis marks the largest cross-sectional and only longitudinal study to date of the clinical phenotype of both adults and children with CMT4C. Authors note that by further defining the natural history of CMT4C, these data will help inform study design of future clinical trials for genetic treatments.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a group of disorders that affect the peripheral nerves, which connect the brain and spinal cord to muscles and sensory cells. Symptoms include weakness, sensory loss, muscle atrophy (wasting), and foot deformities.
In this study, researchers evaluated the impact of body mass index (BMI) on disease progression over two years in children with CMT. Among 242 participants aged 3–20 years with CMT, the team categorized groups by BMI and assessed disease severity using the CMT Pediatric Scale (CMTPedS).
Results show that children with CMT who were severely underweight, underweight, or obese exhibited greater disability at baseline. Over the two-year period in those whose BMI remained stable, severely underweight children deteriorated at the fastest rate. For children who changed BMI categories over the two years, CMTPedS scores deteriorated faster in those who became overweight or obese. Authors note that interventions to maintain or improve BMI toward healthy weight may reduce disability in children with CMT.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a group of genetic disorders that affect the peripheral nerves, which connect the brain and spinal cord to muscles and sensory endings. With symptoms including weakness, sensory loss, muscle atrophy (wasting), balance problems, and foot deformities, CMT is known to reduce health-related quality of life (QOL) in children as well as adults. However, there is currently no parent-proxy CMT QOL outcome measure for use in children for either natural history studies or clinical trials.
In this study, researchers describe the validation of the parent-proxy pediatric CMT-QOL outcome measure for children aged 8 to 18 years. After developing a working version of the outcome measure, the team administered this version to 358 parents of children with CMT seen at the participating study sites of the Inherited Neuropathy Consortium from 2010 to 2016. Results from the parent-proxy version were compared with previously published results completed by the children themselves. To develop the final version, researchers performed rigorous tests of the data, including psychometric analysis, factor analysis, test-retest reliability, internal consistency, convergent validity, IRT analysis, and longitudinal analysis.
Results show that the parent-proxy version of the pediatric CMT-QOL outcome measure is a reliable, valid, and sensitive proxy measure of health-related QOL for children aged 8 to 18 with CMT.

Neuromyotonia and axonal neuropathy (NMAN) is a rare peripheral neuropathy and subtype of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. NMAN is characterized by damage to nerve axons (nerve ends) and overactivation of peripheral nerves. The disease is caused by mutations in the HINT1 gene, which are among the most common causes of recessive neuropathy. Most patients with NMAN are found to have an HINT1 variant that has spread throughout Eurasia and America. In this study, researchers performed the first analysis of NMAN in Lithuania. The team identified eight patients from 46 families with variations in the HINT1 gene, including a new variant. Study participants showed typical symptoms associated with NMAN (such as motor impairment in lower limbs), but also some atypical features (such as developmental delay and mood problems). In addition to expanding the understanding of NMAN, these findings may help diagnose inherited neuropathies in the Baltic region and beyond. Authors note that study results could also impact future therapeutic strategies, as a patient’s specific genetic mutation will determine their treatment options.

Recently, biallelic (both alleles of a single gene) expansions in the RFC1 gene have been found to cause several neurological disorders in addition to a form of inherited neuropathy known as CANVAS (cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy, and vestibular areflexia syndrome). There are also descriptions of Parkinsonism and a multiple system atrophy (MSA)-like syndrome. However, the profile of the autonomic nervous system in a patient with CANVAS/MSA-like overlap syndrome had not yet been fully characterized. In this study, researchers present the first detailed description of autonomic characteristics in a patient with multisystem RFC1-related disease. Initially presenting with CANVAS, the patient developed Parkinsonism, cardiovascular failure, and severe autonomic failure similar to classical MSA. Results suggest that patients with an MSA-like syndrome, plus signs of vestibular (balance) failure or sensory neuropathy, should be tested for the RFC1 expansion. Authors also note that the link between MSA and CANVAS should be further explored.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is a group of inherited, degenerative disorders affecting the nerves that travel to the feet and hands, causing muscle weakness, problems with balance and sensation as well as other symptoms. Axonal transport (a process essential for nerve development, function, and survival) mediated by the KIF1A gene is driven by interaction cycles between the kinesin (motor protein)’s motor and neck domains. In this study, researchers characterized a KIF1A mutant identified in a family with axonal-type CMT and other cases of human neuropathies. This characterization reveals that dynamic dissociation of the motor-neck interaction via the β7 (integrin protein) domain is essential for neuronal function.

In this review paper, two researchers associated with the Inherited Neuropathies Consortium offer an overview of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (CMT2), a group of genetic neuropathies that primarily cause axonal degeneration (damage to the portion of the nerve that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body) rather than demyelination (damage to the protective covering that surrounds nerve fibers). They review gene identification efforts over the past three decades and emerging treatment strategies. Promising strategies include specific approaches for single forms of neuropathy as well as more general approaches that have the potential to treat multiple types of neuropathy. The INC is particularly pleased because coauthor Brett Andrew McCray, MD, PhD, of Johns Hopkins is a recent INC scholar who was supported by a Career Enhancement Award.

Researchers have identified a pathway common to several types of axonal peripheral neuropathies (APNs), including multiple forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, and have identified a possible drug target that could help treat the disorder. The research was led by Robert W. Burgess, PhD, Emily Spaulding, and their team at The Jackson Laboratory in Maine. Researchers with the RDCRN’s Inherited Neuropathies Consortium (INC) contributed by providing patient material to add a human disease component to the team’s efforts. “The serum samples provide by the INC were a way for us to test whether the same mechanisms we found in our mouse models were also involved in patients,” says Burgess, senior author on the study. “As an unexpected bonus, it led to the identification of GDF15 as a possible biomarker, which is being investigated further.” The study, which was published in Science, was funded in part by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health, and featured in a recent NIH media advisory. APNs cause the body’s peripheral nerves to wither and degenerate, which makes them unable to send messages to the muscles or to transmit sensory signals back to the spinal cord. While usually not life-threatening, APNs typically result in some measure of disability. Genetic studies have shown that many APNs are caused by mutations that affect how proteins are built within cells. Proteins are made by first transcribing the DNA code into messenger RNA (mRNA). The mRNA is then transcribed by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules that string together amino acids in the proper sequence, like building a train track. The mutations underlying APNs affect the enzymes responsible for adding amino acid blocks to tRNA. Previous work in flies showed that these mutations inhibit cells’ ability to make proteins. This causes stress within the motor neurons affected by APNs, particularly through a mechanism called the integrated stress response (ISR), ultimately leading to degeneration of nerve structures. Of the proteins previously implicated in the activation of the ISR, one of them, GCN2, had also been connected to defects in protein translation. Using a mouse model, the researchers looked at APN mice that were also missing GCN2. These mice began to develop symptoms of the disease around two weeks of age, but the disease did not progress much beyond the initial stages. When the APN mice were instead treated with a drug to stop GCN2 from working, they showed improvements in many symptoms.

Heredity sensory neuropathies (HSNs) are rare neurological disorders where peripheral neurons and axons are affected, leading to delayed sensations of pain, delayed healing, infections, osteomyelitis, and infections. Researchers performed a whole genome sequencing (WGS) study of 23 unrelated Brazilian families diagnosed with hereditary sensory neuropathies. They detected pathogenic variants in 21.7% of families that caused symptoms such as congenital insensitivity to pain, sensory deficits, neuropathic pain, and recurrent ulcerations. Authors suggest that most of the cases could be explained by yet to be discovered genes or unusual alleles. They say that first mutational screen in a Brazilian HSN cohort offers insights for genotype-phenotype correlations, reducing misdiagnoses, and providing early treatment considerations.
