The CMT1A-REP repeat is proposed to mediate unequal crossover leading to a 1.5 Mb duplication in chromosome 17p11.2-12 associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 1A (CMT1A). There is an apparent recombinational "hotspot" in the CMT1A-REP repeat since the majority of crossover breakpoints fo
## Charcot -Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease type 1A is an inherited peripheral neuropathy characterized by slowly progressive distal muscle wasting and weakness, decreased nerve conduction velocities, and genetic linkage to 17p12. Most (>98%) CMT1A cases are caused by a DNA duplication of a 1.5-Mb regio
