Abstract

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease or hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of disorders of the peripheral nervous system. Mutations in multiple genes are currently known. We report an original case of CMT associated with chronic neutropenia in a patient with a K562del mutation in the dynamin 2 (DNM2) gene in a patient presenting with alterated cognitive function. Associated manifestations may guide molecular study.
