itemprop="description"><h2 id="_cmtx_Summary_">Summary</h2><div><h4 class="inline">Clinical characteristics.</h4><p><i>GJB1</i> disorders are typically characterized by peripheral motor and sensory neuropathy with or without fixed CNS abnormalities and/or acute, self-limited episodes of transient neurologic dysfunction (especially weakness and dysarthria). Peripheral neuropathy typically manifests in affected males between ages five and 25 years. Although both men and women are affected, manifestations tend to be less severe in women, some of whom may remain asymptomatic.</p><p>Less commonly, initial manifestations in some affected individuals are stroke-like episodes (acute fulminant episodes of reversible CNS dysfunction).</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Diagnosis/testing.</h4><p>The diagnosis of CMT1X is established in a male by identification of a hemizygous <i>GJB1</i> pathogenic variant on molecular genetic testing and in a female by identification of a heterozygous <i>GJB1</i> pathogenic variant.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Management.</h4><p><i>Treatment of manifestations:</i> Treatment by a multidisciplinary team includes special shoes and/or ankle/foot orthoses to correct foot drop and to aid walking; surgery as needed for severe <i>pes cavus</i>; forearm crutches, canes, wheelchairs as needed for mobility; daily heel cord stretching to prevent Achilles' tendon shortening; exercise as tolerated. Treatment of stroke-like episodes is supportive, as these are self-limited.</p><p><i>Surveillance:</i> Yearly examinations by: a neurologist of motor function and pain; a physical therapist of gross motor skills and activities of daily living (ADL), an occupational therapist of fine motor skills and ADL; a foot care specialist for pressure sores and/or poorly fitting footwear. More frequent self-foot examination by the affected individual.</p><p><i>Agents/circumstances to avoid:</i> Obesity (makes ambulation more difficult); medications that are toxic or potentially toxic to persons with CMT.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Genetic counseling.</h4><p>CMT1X is inherited in an X-linked manner. Affected males transmit the <i>GJB1</i> pathogenic variant to all of their daughters and none of their sons. Women with a <i>GJB1</i> pathogenic variant have a 50% chance of transmitting the pathogenic variant to each child. Males who inherit the pathogenic variant will be affected; females who inherit the pathogenic variant will be heterozygotes and may have mild-to-no manifestations or, more often, mild-to-moderate manifestations that may progress. Once the <i>GJB1</i> pathogenic variant has been identified in an affected family member, molecular genetic testing of at-risk female relatives to determine their genetic status, prenatal testing for a pregnancy at increased risk, and preimplantation genetic testing are possible.</p></div></div><div id="cmtx.Diagnosis"><h2 id="_cmtx_Diagnosis_">Diagnosis</h2><div id="cmtx.Suggestive_Findings"><h3>Suggestive Findings</h3><p><i>GJB1</i> Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy with or without central nervous system dysfunction (CMT1X) <b>should be suspected</b> in an individual with the following clinical findings, electrophysiologic findings, and family history.</p><p>

Reference to "pathogenic variants" in this <i>GeneReview</i> is understood to include likely pathogenic variants. (2) Identification of a hemizygous or heterozygous <i>GJB1</i> variant of uncertain significance does not establish or rule out the diagnosis.</p><p>Molecular genetic testing approaches can include a combination of <b>gene-targeted testing</b> (single-gene testing, multigene panel) and <b>comprehensive</b>
<b>genomic testing</b> (chromosomal microarray analysis, exome sequencing, exome array, genome sequencing) depending on the phenotype.</p><p>Gene-targeted testing requires that the clinician determine which gene(s) are likely involved, whereas genomic testing does not. Because the phenotype of CMT1X is broad and overlaps with other forms of CMT, individuals with the findings of peripheral neuropathy described in <a href="#cmtx.Suggestive_Findings">Suggestive Findings</a> are likely to be diagnosed using gene-targeted testing, often using a multigene panel (see <a href="#cmtx.Option_1">Option 1</a>), whereas those with stroke-like episodes in whom the diagnosis of a CMT1X has not been considered are more likely to be diagnosed using genomic testing (see <a href="#cmtx.Option_2">Option 2</a>).</p><div id="cmtx.Option_1"><h4>Option 1</h4><p><b>Single-gene testing</b> is probably most appropriate when X-linked inheritance is possible and the proband has both peripheral nervous system and CNS manifestations typical of CMT1X.</p><p>Sequence analysis of <i>GJB1</i> detects missense, nonsense, and splice site variants and small intragenic deletions/insertions. If no pathogenic variant is found, gene-targeted deletion/duplication analysis is performed to detect intragenic deletions or duplications.</p><p><b>Note:</b> Disease-causing variants have been reported in the upstream regulatory region, 5'UTR, noncoding exons and splice sites, and 3'UTR (see <a href="#cmtx.Molecular_Genetics">Molecular Genetics</a>); therefore, sequence analysis should include these regions of <i>GJB1.</i></p><p>An inherited neuropathy <b>multigene panel</b> that includes <i>GJB1</i> and other genes of interest (see <a href="#cmtx.Differential_Diagnosis">Differential Diagnosis</a>) is most likely to identify the genetic cause of the condition while limiting identification of variants of uncertain significance and pathogenic variants in genes that do not explain the underlying phenotype. (1) The genes included in multigene panels and the diagnostic sensitivity of the testing used for each gene vary by laboratory and are likely to change over time. (2) Multigene panels generally include genes not associated with the condition discussed in this <i>GeneReview</i>. (3) In some laboratories, panel options may include a custom laboratory-designed panel and/or custom phenotype-focused exome analysis that includes genes specified by the clinician. (4) Methods used in a panel may include sequence analysis, deletion/duplication analysis, and/or other non-sequencing-based tests. For this disorder a multigene panel that also includes deletion/duplication analysis is recommended (see <a href="/books/NBK1374/table/cmtx.T.molecular_genetic_testing_used_in/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobcmtxTmoleculargenetictestingusedin">Table 1</a>).
