Objective: To report the clinical and genetic characteristics of a rare Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2F (CMT2F) pedigree, and to explore the phenotypic diversity and diagnostic essentials of the mutation in combination with literature review.
Methods: The clinical data, electrophysiological findings, and genetic testing results of the proband and pedigree members were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literatures were reviewed for comparative analysis.
Results: Both patients had an onset in middle and old age (50/66 years), presenting with distal lower limb muscle weakness (Grade III), muscle atrophy, absent tendon reflexes, pes cavus, and sensory abnormalities. Serum creatine kinase (CK) was elevated (474 U/L), and electromyography indicated axonal peripheral nerve damage. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous mutation of HSPB1 gene c.418C>G [p.Arg140Gly], which was verified by co-segregation in the pedigree. Literature review showed that this mutation causes axonal transport dysfunction by impairing the chaperone function of HSP27.
Conclusion: This study expands the phenotypic spectrum of late-onset CMT2F, with some patients showing mild elevation of serum CK. It provides new clinical evidence for the pathogenicity of this mutation.
