The purpose of this study was to understand the mutation features of lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha factor (LITAF), ras-associated protein RAB7 (RAB7), lamin A/C (LMNA) and myotubularin-related protein 2 (MTMR2) genes in Chinese Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) patients. Mutation analysis of LITAF gene was carried out using PCR combined with DNA sequencing, and mutation analysis of RAB7 gene by PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) combined with DNA sequencing in 33 CMT patients including 6 probands of autosomal domi-nated CMT families and 27 sporadic patients; mutation analysis of LMNA and MTMR2 genes was observed using PCR-SSCP combined with DNA sequencing in 41 CMT patients, including 14 probands of autosomal recessive CMT fami-lies and 27 sporadic patients. Two sequence variations c.269G-->A and c.274A-->G were detected in LITAF gene and two sequence variations c.1243G-->A and c.1910C-->T were detected in LMNA gene. No sequence variation was found in RAB7 and MTMR2 gene. Variations of c.269G-->A in LITAF gene and c.1243G-->A, c.1910C-->T in LMNA gene are newly found SNPs in this study. Variation of c.274A-->G in LITAF gene is known SNP reported in SNP database. Mutations in LITAF, RAB7, LMNA, and MTMR2 genes are rare in Chinese CMT patients.
