Abstract

We describe a patient with congenital hypomyelination neuropathy. The pathological and morphometrical findings in the sural nerve biopsy were consistent with a defect of myelin formation and maintenance. Direct sequence analysis of the genomic regions coding the peripheral myelin proteins P0 and PMP22 disclosed a heterozygous missense point mutation that leads to a Ser72Leu substitution in the second transmembrane of PMP22. Codon 72 mutations of PMP22 are associated with different phenotypes encompassing the Dejerine-Sottas syndrome and including congenital hypomyelination neuropathy.
