초록
Axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT2) has most frequently been associated with mutations in the MFN2 gene. MFN2 encodes mitofusin 2, which is a mitochondrial fusion protein that plays an essential role in mitochondrial function. We report CMT2 in a Korean father and his son that manifested with gait difficulties and progressive atrophy of the lower legs. Molecular analysis revealed a novel heterozygous c.2096T>C (p.Leu699Pro) mutation in the exon 18 of MFN2 in both subjects. We suggest that this novel mutation in MFN2 is probably a pathogenic mutation for CMT2.
