: The genetic underpinnings of Parkinson's disease (PD) and parkinsonism have drawn increasing attention in recent years. Mutations in the Factor-Induced Gene 4 ( have been implicated in various neurological disorders, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4J (CMT4J), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Yunis-Varón syndrome. This review aims to explore the association between mutations and parkinsonism, with a specific focus on the rare missense mutation p.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth's disease (CMT) represents the most common inherited neuropathy. Most patients are diagnosed during late stages of disease course during adulthood. We performed a review of clinical, neurophysiological, and genetic diagnoses of 32 patients with genetically defined childhood-onset demyelinating CMT under clinical follow-up in a Brazilian Center for Neuromuscular Diseases from January 2015 to December 2019.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is mainly a disease of peripheral nervous system and patients typically present with features of demyelinating neuropathy or axonal neuropathy or both. Rarely patients present with features of central nervous system involvement. Parkinsonism, aphemia and familial epilepsy syndrome have previously come up as case reports in association with CMT type 4 J.
