A Costa Rican family affected with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease due to the myelin protein zero (MPZ) p.Thr124Met mutation shares the Belgian haplotype

The p.Thr124Met mutation in the myelin protein zero (MPZ) causes the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2J, a peripheral neuropathy with additional symptoms as pupillary alterations and deafness. It was observed in several families around the world originating e. g. from Germany, Belgium, Japan, Italy...

Charcot-Marie-Tooth peripheral neuropathy Myelin protein zero mutation Costa Rica La mutación p.thr124Met en la proteína mielina cero (MPZ) causa la enfermedad de Charcot-Marie-Tooth tipo 2J, una neuropatía periférica con síntomas adicionales como alteraciones pupilares y sordera. Se ha observado en varias familias alrededor del mundo, originarias de Alemania, Bélgica, Japón, Italia y Norteamérica, entre otras. Aquí reportamos a pacientes centroamericanos provenientes de Costa Rica que acarrean esta mutación. Se realizaron análisis clínico, electrofisiológico y molecular de pacientes y controles, incluyendo secuenciación del gen y de marcadores ligados a éste. Estos pacientes comparten casi por completo el haplotipo con dos pacientes belgas no emparentados. Como resultado del análisis de los haplotipos, basado en diez marcadores (siete SNPs, dos microsatélites y un elemento poli-A intrónico), se sugiere que se ha dado un efecto fundador en la migración de este alelo. The p.Thr124Met mutation in the myelin protein zero (MPZ) causes the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2J, a peripheral neuropathy with additional symptoms as pupillary alterations and deafness. It was observed in several families around the world originating e. g. from Germany, Belgium, Japan, Italy and North America. Here we report Central American patients originating from a family in Costa Rica carrying this mutation. Clinical, electrophysiological and molecular analysis of patients and controls were performed, including gene and linked markers´ sequencing. Carriers share almost the entire haplotype with two non related Belgian CMT patients. As a result of the haplotype analysis, based on ten markers (seven SNPs, two microsatellites and an intronic polyA stretch), the founder effect hypothesis for this allele migration is suggestive.
