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
## Abstract Charcot–Marie–Tooth (CMT) disease is a heterogeneous group of inherited sensory and motor neuropathies. Mutations in the gene that encodes for myelin protein zero (__MPZ__) can produce different phenotypes: CMT1 (with low conduction velocities), CMT2 (less frequent and with unaffected c
