Three patients all had reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy as detected by brain diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI-DWI). Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) showed sensorimotor polyneuropathy with mixed demyelinating and axonal features. Genetic testing indicated a c.425G\u2009&gt;\u2009A (p.Arg142Glu) or c.563 C\u2009&gt;\u2009T (p.Thr188Ile) or c.103G\u2009&gt;\u2009C (p.Val35Leu) mutation in GJB1. The unique feature of this report is the identification of two novel mutations: c.563 C\u2009&gt;\u2009T and sc.103G\u2009&gt;\u2009C of the GJB1 gene detected in two families respectively. Another unique feature is that peripheral neuropathy symptoms in the three patients were insidious and found at the onset of CNS symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Posterior leukoencephalopathy is involved in CMTX1 patients.
