Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) diseases are genetic neuropathies in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Type 1 CMT diseases are neuropathies in Schwann cells, PNS myelinating glial cells, whereas type 2 CMT diseases are axonal neuropathies. In addition, there are other types of categories in CMT diseases. CMT diseases are associated with approximately 100 responsible genes. Taiwanese mutation (Asn71-to-Tyr) of alanyl-tRNA synthetase (AARS) in type 2N CMT disease has been reported to have several pathological effects on properties of AARS proteins themselves [1]. Also, some mutations in other responsible genes affect cell biological properties of their gene products [2,3]. Herein we provide the data regarding the effects of another type 2N CMT disease-associated AARS mutation (Arg329-to-His) in French family on the cellular properties.
