Identification of a Novel Homozygous Mutation in MTMR2 Gene Causes Very Rare Charcot–Marie–Tooth Disease Type 4B1

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a heterogeneous group of disorders involving peripheral nervous system. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 4B1 (CMT4B1) is a rare subtype of CMT. CMT4B1 is an axonal demyelinating polyneuropathy with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Patients with CMT4B1 usually manifested with dysfunction of the motor and sensory systems which leads to gradual and progressive muscular weakness and atrophy, starting from the peroneal muscles and finally affecting the distal muscles.
