Pathogenic variants in these three genes were not well documented in Chinese CMT patients. Therefore, this study aims to detect SH3TC2, PMP2, and BSCL2 pathogenic variants in a cohort of 315 unrelated Chinese CMT families. Methods： A total of 315 probands from 315 unrelated Chinese CMT families were recruited from the Department of Neurology of Third Xiangya Hospital and Xiangya Hospital. We screened for SH3TC2 pathogenic variants in 84 AR or sporadic CMT probands, PMP2 pathogenic variants in 39 AD or sporadic CMTI probands, and BSCL2 pathogenic variants in 50 AD or sporadic CMT2 probands, using polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing. All these patients were out of 315 unrelated Chinese CMT families and genetically undiagnosed after exclusion of pathogenic variants of PMP22, MFN2, MPZ, GJB 1, GDAP1, HSPB1, HSPB8, EGR2, NEFL. and RABT. Candidate variants were analyzed based on the standards and guidelines of American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics （ACMG）. Clinical features were reevaluated. Results： We identified three novel heterozygous variants such as p.L95V （c.283C〉G）, p.L 1048P （c.3143T〉C）, and p.V 1105 M （c.3313G〉A） of SH3TC2 gene and no pathogenic variants of PMP2 and BSCL2 genes. Although evaluation in silico and screening in the healthy control revealed that the three SH3TC2 variants were likely pathogenic, no second allele variants were discovered. According to the standards and guidelines of ACMG, the heterozygous SH3TC2 variants such as p.L95V, p.LI048P, and p.V1105M were considered to be of uncertain significance. Conclusions： SH3TC2, PMP2, and BSCL2 pathogenic variants might be rare in Chinese CMT patients. Further studies to confirm our findings are needed.展开更多

The potential energy surface has been given according to the relative energies calculated at the MP2/cc-pVTZ level after the spin projection （PMP2）. Five reaction channels were identified and the intramolecular hydrogen bonding was observed in some transition state structures. The barrier heights and reaction enthalpies calculated for all possible channels show that the hydrogen abstraction channel is predominant kinetically and thermodynamically. The contribution from other channels was predicted to be minor.展开更多

The copolymers obtained with (-)-sparteine (Sp) and(S,S)-(+)-and (R, R)-(-)-2, 3-dimethoxy-1, 4-bis (dimethylamino) butanes((+)-and (-)-DDB) complexes of organolithium showed low optical activity, but PMP complex with N, N-diphenylethyleneamine monolithium amide (PMP-DPEDA-Li) was effective in synthesizingcopolymers of high optical rotation ([α]_D^(25) about+320～1370°)which were comparable to thoseof relative homopolymers with one-handed helical structure.展开更多
