RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Cockayne syndrome (CS) is characterized by postnatal growth failure and progressive multi-organ dysfunctions. CSA and CSB gene mutations account for the majority of cases and three degrees of severity are delineated. A peripheral neuropathy is known to be associated with CS but the type, severity and correlation of the nerve involvement with CS subtypes remain unknown in genetically identified patients. METHODS: Clinical and nerve conduction studies (NCS) in 25 CS patients with CSA (n=13) CSB (n=12) mutations. RESULTS: NCS show a widespread decrease in motor and sensory conduction velocities (CV) in all severe and classical form of CS. In one patient, CV were normal at age 8months but severe slowing was detected at 2years. Conduction block and/or temporal dispersion were observed in 68% of patients. CONCLUSIONS: CS is associated with a progressive sensory and motor neuropathy. Signs of segmental demyelination, including conduction blocks, may not be obvious before the age of 2years. CV slowing is correlated with the CS clinical severity. SIGNIFICANCE: NCS should be performed in patients with suspected CS as an additional tool to guide the diagnosis before molecular studies. Further studies focused on NCS course are required in order to assess its relevance as a biomarker in research therapy projects.
