Central motor and sensory pathway involvement in an X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth family.
Acta Neurologica Belgica 2008 June
UNLABELLED: The aim of the present study was to investigate the subclinical involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) in an X-linked Charcot-Marie-Toth (CMTX) family.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Seven subjects, all members of one family with a C.462T > G connexin 32 (Cx32) mutation were investigated by Blink reflex, Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) and Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). There were five clinically symptomatic for CMT neuropathy (four male and one female) and two asymptomatic (female) subjects.
RESULTS: Subclinical CNS involvement was observed in all, symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects.
CONCLUSION: This is the largest CMTX neuropathy family investigated for CNS involvement. Electrophysiological involvement of the CNS in every examined member of this family was observed, raising the question of a more systematic involvement of the CNS in CMTX disease.
