BACKGROUND: Single-center clinical series provide important information on genetic distribution that can guide genetic testing. However, there are few such studies on pediatric populations with inherited peripheral neuropathies (IPNs).
METHODS: Thorough genetic testing was performed on IPN patients under 20 years of age from a geographically well-defined Mediterranean area (Valencian Community, Spain), annually assessed with the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease Pediatric Scale (CMTPedS).
RESULTS: From 86 families with IPNs, 99 patients (59 males) were identified, 85 with sensorimotor neuropathy or CMT (2/3 demyelinating form) and 14 with distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN). Genetic diagnosis was achieved in 79.5% families, with a similar mutation detection rate in the demyelinating (88.7%) and axonal (89.5%) forms, significantly higher than in the dHMN families (27.3%). CMT1A was the most common subtype, followed by those carrying heterozygous mutations in either the GDAP1 or GJB1 genes. Mutations in 15 other genes were identified, including a new pathogenic variant in the ATP1A gene. The CMTPedS detected significant disease progression in all genetic subtypes of CMT, at a rate of 1.84 (±3.7) over 1 year (p < 0.0005, n = 62) and a 2-year rate of 3.6 (±4.4: p < 0.0005, n = 45). Significant disease worsening was also detected for CMT1A over 1 (1.7 ± 3.6, p < 0.05) and 2 years (4.2 ± 4.3, p < 0.0005).
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the unique spectrum of IPN gene frequencies among pediatric patients in this specific geographic region, identifying the CMTPedS as a sensitive tool to detect significant disease worsening over 1 year that could help optimize the design of clinical trials.
