Mutations in GDAP1 associate with demyelinating (CMT4A) and axonal (CMT2K) forms of CMT. While CMT4A shows recessive inheritance, CMT2K can present with either recessive (AR-CMT2K) or dominant segregation pattern (AD-CMT2K), the latter being characterised by milder phenotypes and later onset. The majority of the GDAP1 mutations are associated with CMT4A and AR-CMT2K, with only four heterozygous mutations identified in AD-CMT2K.
