Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterized by recurrent sensory or motor dysfunction. In 85% of HNPP cases the genetic defect is a 1.4 Mb deletion on chromosome 17p11.2, encompassing the PMP22 gene. Point mutations in the PMP22 gene responsible for HNPP phenotypes are rare. We investigated a 17-years-old girl who led to our detecting a novel mutation in PMP22 gene. The mutation was also detected in her father and corresponded to a deletion of one tymidine at position 11 in exon2 (c.11delT). This novel mutation creates a shift on the reading frame starting at codon 4 and leads to the introduction of a premature stop at codon 6.
