The myelin protein zero gene (MPZ) maps to chromosome lq22-23 and encodes the most abundant peripheral nerve myelin protein. The Po protein functions as a homophilic adhesion molecule in myelin compaction. Mutations in the MPZ gene are associated with the demyelinating peripheral neuropathies Charco
