Review Articles from PubMed
Axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is genetically heterogeneous, with 11 genes identified. Axonal CMT has most frequently been associated with mutations in the MFN2 gene (CMT2A).
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common form of hereditary peripheral neuropathy. The main axonal form of CMT, CMT2A, preferentially affects peripheral neurons with the longest neurites. CMT2A has been recently linked to mutations in the mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) gene. Mfn2 ...

The human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line ZJUCHi002-A was established from renal epithelial cells present in urine (urinary cells) collected from an 8-year-old Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A (CMT2A) patient carrying point mutation in MFN2 (c.752C > T). Urinary cells ...
Mitofusins (MFNs) promote fusion-mediated mitochondrial content exchange and subcellular trafficking. Mutations in cause neurodegenerative Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A (CMT2A). We showed that MFN2 activity can be determined by Met and His interactions with Asp and Leu and ...
