More than 400 mutations have been identified in the GJB1 gene that encodes connexin 32 (CX32). CX32 is thought to form gap junctions that promote the diffusion pathway between cells. GJB1 mutations interfere with the formation of the functional channel and impair the maintenance of peripheral myelin, and novel mutations are continually discovered. Methods: We included 79 unrelated patients clinically diagnosed with CMT at the Department of Neurology of the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital from December 20, 2012, to December 31, 2015. Clinical examination, nerve conduction studies, and molecular and bioinformatics analyses were performed to identify patients with CMTX 1. Results: Nine GJBI mutations (c.283G〉A, c.77C〉T, c.643C〉T, c.515C〉T, c.191G〉A, c.610C〉T, c.490C〉T, c.491G〉A, and c.44G〉A) were discovered in nine patients. Median motor nerve conduction velocities of all nine patients were 〈 38 m/s, resembling CMT Type 1. Three novel mutations, c.643C〉T, c.191G〉A, and c.610C〉T, were revealed and bioinformatics analyses indicated high pathogenicity. Conclusions: The three novel missense mutations within the GJB1 gene broaden the mutational diversity ofCMT1X. Molecular analysis of family members and bioinformatics analyses of the afflicted patients confirmed the pathogenicity of these mutations.展开更多
