Abstract:
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease or hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of disorders of the peripheral nervous system. Mutations in multiple genes are currently known. We report an original case of CMT associated with chronic neutropenia in a patient with a K562del mutation in the dynamin 2 (DNM2) gene in a patient presenting with alterated cognitive function. Associated manifestations may guide molecular study.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation, but...
