Mutations in the gene encoding mitofusin 2 (MFN2) are responsible of about 20% of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (CMT2) case. A great variability exists among CMT2A concerning severity and associated clinical features.

[Mitofusin 2 and mitochondrial dynamics in norm and pathology].
Results of an intensive research performed during last 25 years have revealed that an understanding of biochemical and molecular principles of oxidative phosphorylation has not finished the streak of ground-breaking discoveries of newly identified mitochondrial functions in numerous cellular processes.

Expression of mitofusin 2R94Q in a transgenic mouse leads to Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 2A
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A is an autosomal dominant axonal form of peripheral neuropathy caused by mutations in the mitofusin 2 gene. Mitofusin 2 encodes a mitochondrial outer membrane protein that participates in mitochondrial fusion in ...

Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) mutations cause mitochondrial DNA instability in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a heterogeneous group of inherited peripheral neuropathies and it affects at least 1 in 2,500 individuals. A specific autosomal-dominant axonal CMT subtype, hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type VI (HMSN-VI ...
