Most patients with CMT1A have been found to have a 1.5 megabase tandem DNA duplication in chromosome 17p11.2-12. Meiotic unequal crossover mediated by the CMT1A-REP repeat is a proposed me

We report here the second case of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 1A (CMT1A) with a cytogenetically visible de novo direct duplication of 17p11.1-->17p12. A male child who was initially referred for developmental delay and dysmorphism was subsequently shown to have significantly reduced motor nerve cond
