We report an axonal CMT (CMT 2) case from India with a novel heterozygous variant of uncertain significance detected in the ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1 (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">GDAP1<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) gene. A 12-year-old male patient presented with severe distal lower limb weakness (bilateral foot drop) progressing proximally. Bilateral pes-cavus, high-steppage gait, reduced power in bilateral lower limbs, bilaterally absent ankle jerks, and no cerebellar or pyramidal signs\/vocal cord paresis were salient clinical findings that suggested the clinical diagnosis of Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN)\/CMT disease. Neurophysiological tests revealed axonal CMT. Genetic studies showed a novel heterozygous missense variant classified as a variant of uncertain significance in the\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">GDAP1<\/jats:italic>\n                    gene.
