Among 57 mutations in the peripheral myelin protein 22 gene (PMP22) identified so far in patients affected by Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), only 8 have been shown to segregate with a mixed phenotype of CMT and hearing impairment. In this study, we report a new Ser112Arg mutation in the PMP22 gene, identified in a patient with early-onset CMT and slowly progressive hearing impairment beginning in the second decade of life. We suggest that the Ser112Arg mutation in the PMP22 gene might have a causative role in the early-onset CMT with hearing impairment. Thus, our study extends the spectrum of CMT phenotypes putatively associated with PMP22 gene mutations
