[Cloning to rule out 10 candidate genes located in chromosome 12q24 for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2L].

OBJECTIVE: To clone the disease-causing genes possibly existing in 6.8 cM distance between microsatellite markers D12S1720 and D12S1611 in chromosome 12q24 for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2L (CMT2L).

METHODS: Ten positional and functional candidate genes were chosen among all known genes in this locus region by bioinformatics inqury. Mutation detection was performed by sequencing the exons and intron-exon junctions of the candidate genes.

RESULTS: Eleven sequence variations, that included 5 heterozygous and 6 homozygous variations, were detected in the exons and flanking areas of the 10 candidate genes. All the variations showed no co-segregation with disease phenotype.

CONCLUSION: Ten candidate genes(TAOK3, RAB35, RPLP0, PXN, RNF10, RHOF, VPS33A, RSN, DENR, RNP24) were ruled out as the disease-causing gene for CMT2L. Ten single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were reported for the first time.
