Dear Editor, Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most common inherited peripheral neuropathy affecting motor and sensory nerves of the peripheral nervous system. The disease is genetically highly heterogeneous and is classified into demyelinating, intermediate, and axonal forms based on nerve conduction studies. The clinical phenotype of CMT is also variable, and a group of patients has been reported in association with renal diseases especially focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)(Paul et al., 1990). Recently, inverted formin 2 (INF2) mutation was identified as a major cause of CMT associated with FSGS (Boyer et al., 2011). We encountered three patients with CMT associated with FSGS and attempted to find the cause. Case 1 showed no abnormality at birth or during development. She had a similarly affected younger brother (case 2). Her non-consanguineous parents were healthy and had no symptoms of renal or neuromuscular diseases. She was initially found to have proteinuria at 11years old at an annual school health check-up. She received steroid therapy, but did not respond to it. She was diagnosed with FSGS based on the findings of renal biopsy and was treated with immunosuppressant therapy including cyclosporine administration. She did not respond to the therapy, and received peritoneal dialysis from 14 years. At that time, she complained of gait disturbance and showed distal muscle weakness and atrophy of the upper and lower extremities. On examination at 15years, she showed steppage gait, pes cavus, distal muscle weakness and atrophy of the upper and lower extremities, and decreased deep tendon reflexes of the lower extremities, but had no sensory disturbances. Electrophysiological studies showed decreased motor nerve conduction velocities (MCV)(20 and 19 m/s) in the bilateral median nerves.
