| Abstract | Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) caused by mutations in the ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1 (GDAP1) gene is characterized by a spectrum of phenotypes. Recurrent nonsense mutations (Q163X and S194X) showing regional distribution segregate with an early onset, severe course of recessive CMT disease with early loss of ambulancy. Missense mutations in GDAP1 have been reported in sporadic CMT cases with variable course of disease, among them the recurrent L239F missense GDAP1 mutation occurring in the European population. Finally, some GDAP1 mutations are associated with a mild form of CMT inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. In this study, we characterize the CMT phenotype in one Polish family with recessive trait of inheritance at the clinical, electrophysiological, morphological, cellular, and genetic level associated with a new Gly327Asp mutation in the GDAP1 gene. In spite of the nature of Gly327Asp mutation (missense), the CMT phenotype associated with this variant may be characterized as an early onset, severe axonal neuropathy, with severe skeletal deformities. The mutation lies within the transmembrane domain of GDAP1 and interferes with the mitochondrial targeting of the protein, similar to the loss of the domain in the previously reported Q163X and S194X mutations. We conclude that the loss of mitochondrial targeting is associated with a severe course of disease. Our study shows that clinical outcome of CMT disease caused by mutations in the GDAP1 gene cannot be predicted solely on the basis of genetic results (missense/nonsense mutations). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
