Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Complicating Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract: Although both conditions are relatively common, there are very few descriptions of type 2 diabetes mellitus coexisting with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). This case report and literature review describes a 53-year-old Irish man who presented with type 2 diabetes and significant neuropathy, and who was subsequently diagnosed with CMT type 1A. This case report will also discuss how to differentiate diabetic neuropathy from a progressive hereditary neuropathy and how coexistence aggravates the progression of … Show more

“…The typical signs and family history are the most characteristic differences. 2 Diabetic mellitus would lead to a neuropathy called diabetic neuropathy, which is a neurological complication of diabetes. A typical example is a mitochondrial phenotype, which causes a distal dying-back neurodegenerative process and results in abnormal sensory neurons.…”

“…Diabetes mellitus does not exacerbate the neuropathy caused by CMT1A directly. Previous animal studies identified that diabetes could result in transmission abnormalities of the neuromuscular junction 9 , which might be a potential mechanism of diabetes mellitus exacerbating CMT1A. It could be possible that diabetes mellitus aggravates pre‐existing demyelinating Schwann cells and axonal structure abnormal interaction, and is associated with regeneration disorder of axons injuries.…”

“…It is unclear whether the lack of association is relevant to the embryonic lethality of DNM2 disruption, isoform redundancy, or lower minor allele frequency (MAF) of variants in GWAS analysis. Dynamin mutations have been identified in Charcot-Marie-Tooth peripheral neuropathy (CMT) and autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy (107), and the copresence of T2D with CMT has been reported in some patients (108)(109)(110), raising the question whether dynamin dysfunction is the shared etiology for both diseases in these cases. Hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance in the TKO mice (Figs.…”
