    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND AND AIMS: This study aimed to report nine Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) families with six novel IGHMBP2 mutations in our CMT2 cohort and to summarize the genetic and clinical features of all AR-CMT2S patients reported worldwide. METHODS: General information, clinical and neurophysiological data of 275 axonal CMT families were collected. Genetic screening was performed by inherited peripheral neuropathy related genes panel or whole exome sequencing. The published papers reporting AR-CMT2S from 2014 to 2023 were searched in Pubmed and Wanfang databases. RESULTS: In our CMT2 cohort, we detected 17 AR-CMT2S families carrying IGHMBP2 mutations and eight were published previously. Among these, c.743 T > A (p.Val248Glu), c.884A > G (p.Asp295Gly), c.1256C > A (p.Ser419*), c.2598_2599delGA (p.Lys868Sfs*16), c.1694_1696delATG (p.Asp565del) and c.2509A > T (p.Arg837*) were firstly reported. These patients prominently presented with early-onset typical axonal neuropathy and without respiratory dysfunction. So far, 56 AR-CMT2S patients and 57 different mutations coming from 43 families have been reported in the world. Twenty-nine of 32 missense mutations were clustered in helicase domain and ATPase region. The age at onset ranged from 0.11to 20 years (Mean ± SD: 3.43 ± 3.88 years) and the majority was infantile-onset (<2 years). The initial symptoms included weakness of limbs (19, 29.7%), delayed milestones (12, 18.8%), gait disturbance (11, 17.2%), feet deformity (8, 12.5%), feet drop (8, 12.5%), etc. INTERPRETATION: AR-CMT2S accounted for 6.2% in our CMT2 cohort. We firstly reported six novel IGHMBP2 mutations which expanded the genotypic spectrum of AR-CMT2S. Furthermore, 17 AR-CMT2S families could provide more resources for natural history study, drug research and development.
