a

Refers to whole genome sequencing.

b

Refers to whole exome sequencing.

Het, heterozygous; hom, homozygous; c/het, compound heterozygous, although such variants were not confirmed in trans; AD, autosomal dominant; AR, autosomal recessive; VUS, variant of uncertain significance; LP, likely pathogenic; P, pathogenic; sup, supporting; mod, moderate; str, strong.

Novel variants (not previously implicated in disease) are shown in bold. CMT, Charcot-Marie-Tooth. HMN plus refers to clinical sensory impairment but normal sensory nerve action potentials on electrophysiology. CMT2 refers to an axonal sensorimotor neuropathy (nerve conduction velocities (CVs) >45m/s) (20). CMT mixed refers to an overall axonal pattern, although some nerves showed CVs <38 m/s. The median neuropathy refers to delayed distal latency and a conduction block in the forearm (>20% drop between proximal and distal motor amplitudes).

*

PVS1 not assigned as loss of gene function is not an established pathogenic mechanism for MPV17-related CMT2EE (the majority of MPV17 variants associated with CMT2EE are homozygous missense variants while the single reported homozygous non-frameshift deletion, p.Asp126_Tyr136del, removes <10% of the MPV17 protein).
