This study involves the presentation of a kindred from Southwestern Louisiana showing 66 individuals who were heterozygous for a rare dominant gene for a type of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease with hypertrophy of peripheral nerves. Two marriages between heterozygotes resulted in the occurrence of five homozygous offsprings. Clinical features of these previously undescribed homozygotes are compared to the clinical features of the classic type of heterozygote. The value of using nerve-conduction time to detect the asymptomatic heterozygote for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is discussed.

The Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a group of progressive disorders that affects the peripheral nerves and results in loss of sensation and atrophy of muscles in lower limbs. There are several types of Charcot-Marie-Tooth and multiple genes are associated with this disease. Distal spinal muscular atrophy is an extremely rare disorder characterized by progressive pure lower motor neuron involvement. A 24 yr old woman using wheelchair referred to Farhud Genetic Clinic, Tehran, Iran in 2019, with progressive muscular atrophy, pain and Electromyography test suggesting Charcot-Marie-tooth. Both feet and hands were involved. Whole exome sequencing was performed on extracted DNA from her blood sample. We report the first case of a patient with different types of CharcotMarie-Tooth and distal spinal muscular atrophy simultaneously, which are as a result of mutations in multiple genes; this case is very uncommon.
