✦ Synopsis


We identified a de novo mutation in the peripheral myelin protein (PMP22) gene of a patient with Dkjkrine-Sottas neuropathy. Single-stranded conformation analysis of PCR-amplified D N A fragments showed an additional fragment for exon 1 in the patient, which was absent in the unaffected parents. Sequence analysis showed a de novo point mutation C8'-+A that results in an amino acid substitution His 12Gln in the first transmembrane domain of PMP22. This provides further evidence that sporadic cases of Dkjjerine-Sottas neuropathy can be due to dominant single base substitutions.

Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (DSS), or hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) type 111, is a severe hypertrophic demyelinating neuropathy with infantile onset. The clinical symptoms are similar to those found in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 (CMT1) or HMSN type I patients, but they are more
