Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathies are a group of genetically heterogeneous diseases of the peripheral nervous system. Mutations in the MFN2 gene have been reported as the primary cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A. Patients with the clinical diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2 were screened using single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP). All DNA samples showing band shifts in the SSCP analysis were amplified from genomic DNA and cycle sequenced. We analyzed a total of 73 unrelated patients with a clinical diagnosis of CMT 2. Overall, novel mutations were detected in 6 patients. c.380G>T (G127V), c.1128G>A (M376I), c.1040A>T (E347V), c.1403G>A (R468H), c.2113G>A (V705I), and c.2258_2259insT (L753fs). We confirmed a significant role of mutations in MFN2 in the pathogenesis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2.
