Communicated by Jean-Louis Mandel Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1 (CMT1) disease is an autosomal dominant neuropathy of the peripheral nerve. The majority of CMT 1 cases are due to a duplication of an 1.5-Mb DNA fragment on chromosome 17pl1.2 (CMT la). Micromutations were found in the gene for peripheral
Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies (HMSN) comprises a wide clinical spectrum of related disorders with defects in peripheral nerve myelination. Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1 (CMT1) is the most common form and is usually a mild disease with onset in the first or second decade; however there is a
DNA-based mutation analysis on the connexin 32 gene was performed in 49 families with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) type 1 but without duplication involving the chromosomal region, 17p12-p11.2. Mutations were identified in five of the 49 families, and four of the five mutations were hitherto und
