Shooter, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, and approved July 29, 2009 (received for review May 26, 2009) Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 4C (CMT4C) is an early-onset, severity and the age of onset vary in and between families, but autosomal recessive form of demyelinating neuropathy. The clin- usually the sensorimotor neuropathy can be detected in the first ical manifestations include progressive scoliosis, delayed age of decade of life (4–6). In addition to the peripheral neuropathy, walking, muscular atrophy, distal weakness, and reduced nerve almost all patients affected by CMT4C develop early-onset conduction velocity. The gene mutated in CMT4C disease, SH3TC2/ severe scoliosis. KIAA1985, was recently identified; however, the function of the CMT4C has originally been mapped in two large Algerian protein it encodes remains unknown. We have generated knockout families to a 13-cM linkage interval on chromosome 5q23-q33 mice where the first exon of the Sh3tc2 gene is replaced with an (7). By homozygosity mapping and allele-sharing analysis, this enhanced GFP cassette. The Sh3tc2⌬Ex1/⌬Ex1 knockout animals de- interval was narrowed down to a 1.7-megabase region, leading to velop progressive peripheral neuropathy manifested by decreased the identification of mutations in a thus far uncharacterized motor and sensory nerve conduction velocity and hypomyelina- transcript called KIAA1985,orSH3TC2 (4). SH3TC2 encodes a tion. We show that Sh3tc2 is specifically expressed in Schwann cells protein of 1,288 aa containing two Src homology 3 (SH3) and 10 and localizes to the plasma membrane and to the perinuclear tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domains sharing no overall NEUROSCIENCE endocytic recycling compartment, concordant with its possible significant similarity to any other human protein with known function in myelination and/or in regions of axoglial interactions. function.

Based on described mutations in exon 1 of SH3TC2 in neuropathic Marie–Tooth (CMT) neuropathies [also called hereditary W patients affected by CMT4C leading to a premature stop codon (4), motor and sensory neuropathies (HMSNs)] are among the most we decided to develop a mouse knockout model of CMT4C by common inherited neurological disorders (1). Over the last 25 years, replacing exon 1 of the Sh3tc2 gene with an enhanced GFP progress in genetics has led to the identification of more than 30 (eGFP)-Neo cassette (Fig. 1A). Mice homozygous for the targeted genes responsible for different CMT forms (www.molgen.ua.ac.be/ ⌬ ⌬ allele (Sh3tc2neo Ex1/neo Ex1) were crossed with the deleter strain CMTMutations).
