Intermediate conduction velocity in two cases of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A. Tomaselli PJ, Blake J, Polke JM, do Nascimento OJM, Reilly MM, Marques Júnior W, Laurá M. Eur J Neurol. 2024 Feb 26:e16199. doi: 10.1111/ene.16199. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 38409938.

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 (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 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.

Neuropathy due to bi-allelic SH3TC2 variants: genotype-phenotype correlation and natural history.

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.

Post-transcriptional microRNA repression of PMP22 dose in severe Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1.

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.

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.

A neuropathy-associated kinesin KIF1A mutation hyper-stabilizes the motor-neck interaction during the ATPase cycle. Morikawa M, Jerath NU, Ogawa T, Morikawa M, Tanaka Y, Shy ME, Zuchner S, Hirokawa N. EMBO J. 2022 Mar 1;41(5):e108899. doi: 10.15252/embj.2021108899. Epub 2022 Feb 8. PMID: 35132656.

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.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2CC due to NEFH variants causes a progressive, non-length-dependent, motor-predominant phenotype. Pipis M, Cortese A, Polke JM, Poh R, Vandrovcova J, Laura M, Skorupinska M, Jacquier A, Juntas-Morales R, Latour P, Petiot P, Sole G, Fromes Y, Shah S, Blake J, Choi BO, Chung KW, Stojkovic T, Rossor AM, Reilly MM.

Researchers seeking to better understand axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2CC (CMT2CC) conducted an observational study of 30 affected and 3 asymptomatic mutation carriers from 8 families, examining phenotype-genotype correlations. Study subjects had variants in the gene NEFH, which is thought to cause CMT2CC. Researchers found that most patients developed lower-limb predominant symptoms in adulthood. The disease progressed more rapidly than is typically seen in other CMT subtypes, and half of patients needed to use a wheelchair an average of 24.1 years after symptoms began. They found that that the unusual phenotype of CMT2CC is more similar to spinal muscular atrophy than classic CMT. Study authors said that these findings should allow a better understanding of the natural history of the disease and aid in variant interpretation.

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.

Severe distinct dysautonomia in RFC1-related disease associated with Parkinsonism. Record CJ, Alsukhni RA, Curro R, Kaski D, Rubin JS, Morris HR, Cortese A, Iodice V, Reilly MM. J Peripher Nerv Syst. 2022 Sep 30. doi: 10.1111/jns.12515. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 36177974.

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.

Unusual upper limb features in SORD neuropathy. Record CJ, Pipis M, Blake J, Curro R, Lunn MP, Rossor AM, Laura M, Cortese A, Reilly MM. J Peripher Nerv Syst. 2022 Apr 13. doi: 10.1111/jns.12492. Online ahead of print.

A CADM3 variant causes Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease with marked upper limb involvement. Rebelo AP, Cortese A, Abraham A, Eshed-Eisenbach Y, Shner G, Vainshtein A, Buglo E, Camarena V, Gaidosh G, Shiekhattar R, Abreu L, Courel S, Burns DK, Bai Y, Bacon C, Feely SME, Castro D, Peles E, Reilly MM, Shy ME, Zuchner S. Brain. 2021 May 7;144(4):1197-1213. doi: 10.1093/brain/awab019.

Researchers used whole exome sequencing in three unrelated families with axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT2) to identify a unique pathogenic variant causing CMT with marked upper limb involvement. CMT2 is 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). The variant identified is in the CADM family of proteins, which mediate the contact and interaction between axons and the glia (non-neuronal cells that form myelin in the peripheral nervous system and support and protect neurons). The families studied all shared the same private variant in CADM3, Tyr172Cys. Findings were also confirmed in mouse studies. Researchers conclude that this abnormal axon-glia interaction is a disease-causing mechanism in CMT patients with CADM3 mutations. This is the first example that directly disrupting the interactions between glia and axons is sufficient to cause neuropathy.

Axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease: from Common Pathogenic Mechanisms to Emerging Treatment Opportunities. McCray BA, Scherer SS. Neurotherapeutics. 2021 Oct 4. doi: 10.1007/s13311-021-01099-2. Online ahead of print.

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.

Enrichment of SARM1 alleles encoding variants with constitutively hyperactive NADase in patients with ALS and other motor nerve disorders. Gilley J, Jackson O, Pipis M, Estiar MA, Al-Chalabi A, Danzi MC, van Eijk KR, Goutman SA, Harms MB, Houlden H, Iacoangeli A, Kaye J, Lima L; Queen Square Genomics, Ravits J, Rouleau GA, Schüle R, Xu J, Züchner S, Cooper-Knock J, Gan-Or Z, Reilly MM, Coleman MP. Elife. 2021 Nov 19;10:e70905. doi: 10.7554/eLife.70905. PMID: 34796871; PMCID: PMC8735862.

SARM1 is a protein with critical NAD-glycohydrolase (NADase) activity. This protein drives axon (nerve fiber) degeneration, a characteristic of many neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, researchers screened patient data for mutations associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). They discovered disease-associated variant alleles that alter SARM1 function, hyperactivating the NADase activity that drives degeneration. The authors conclude that these may represent risk alleles for ALS and other motor nerve diseases. These findings highlight the role of axonal degeneration in motor neuron diseases. The study also provides a rationale for SARM1-directed therapeutic intervention.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is an inherited neurological disorder that affects the peripheral nerves of patients, causing weakness and wasting of the muscles of the lower legs, hand weakness, and sensory loss. To identify candidate biomarkers for clinical trials in CMT1A, researchers performed microRNA (miR) profiling on control and CMT1A plasma with the goal of determining whether microRNAs are elevated in affected individuals. Results confirmed elevated levels of several muscle-associated miRNAs (miR1, -133a, -133b, and -206, known as myomiRs) along with a set of miRs that are highly expressed in Schwann cells of peripheral nerves. Authors say the study provides Class III evidence that a set of plasma mIRs are elevated in patients with CMT1A.

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.

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.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is a group of inherited, degenerative disorders affecting the nerves that travel to the feet and hands, causing pain, muscle weakness, and other symptoms. In order to assess disease severity and changes over time, researchers have developed a functional outcome measure called the CMT-FOM. This 13-item clinical outcome assessment tool measures physical ability in adults with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease. To assess inter-rater reliability of the tool, or the degree to which independent observers using the CMT-FOM agree, researchers trained six evaluators in its use. The evaluators then each used the CMT-FOM separately to evaluate 10 patient participants with genetically diagnosed CMT1A (the most common form of CMT) and their assessments were compared. Results indicated excellent inter-rater reliability. Researchers conclude that the CMT-FOM is a reliable clinical outcome assessment tool. CMT-FOM is important for natural history and clinical trial studies as it provides an evaluation based on functions that the patient performs in their hands and feet. It also allows a transition from the CMT Pediatric Scale (CMTPedS), a similar instrument for children with CMT.
