Mutations in mitofusin 2 (MFN2) are the most common cause of axonal Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT2) (Polke; 2011). Additional features known to occasionally occur with MFN2-related disorders are optic atrophy, pyramidal signs, scoliosis and deafness (Zuchner, 2006; Feely, 2011; Bombelli, 2014). Cognitive impairment has been reported in a small number of patients with MFN2 mutations (Del Bo, 2008; Genari, 2011; Tufano, 2015).
