Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease caused by mutations of the myelin protein zero gene demonstrates considerable phenotypical variability. We describe a 45-year-old female with a peripheral neuropathy with demyelinating and axonal features, pes cavus and pupillary light-near dissociation. She was heterozygous for two mutations in the myelin protein zero gene (His81Tyr and Val113Phe), both present on the same allele. Our patient shows a less severe phenotype than previously described patients with a His81Arg mutation. Multiple mutations in the myelin protein zero gene, as well as Charcot-Marie-Tooth with pupillary abnormalities have previously been described in rare instances. However, concurrent occurrence of both phenomena is a novel finding.
