Great advances have been made in understanding the molecular basis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and related neuropathies, namely Dejerine-Sottas disease (DSD), hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) and congenital hypomyelination (CH). The number of newly uncovered m

Our patient material included families and sporadic patients of Finnish origin with the diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease types 1 and 2, Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (DSS), and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP). We screened for mutations in the peripheral myeli
We studied the relationship between the genotype and clinical phenotype in 27 families with dominant X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMTX1) neuropathy. Twenty-two families showed mutations in the coding region of the connexin32 (cx32) gene. The mutations include four nonsense mutations, eight missense
Two sisters with a Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) duplication, who had an unusual CMT1A clinical phenotype, are described. The 63-year-old proband presented with dysesthesia on the inner side of the right leg. Neurological examination revealed a localized sensory disturbance in the lowe
This novel finding is the first to address androgens in pediatric stroke and is consistent with the rather sparse literature that androgens impact ischemic outcomes and mechanisms of brain damage. 7,[12][13][14][15][16] In contrast, low circulating testosterone levels are associated with higher stro
Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper transport, manifesting as chronic liver disease and/or neurologic impairment due to accumulation of copper in several tissues, principally the liver and the brain. The WD gene encodes a copper transporting P-type ATPase that is defecti
