## Abstract Peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) is a tetraspan glycoprotein whose misexpression is associated with a family of hereditary peripheral neuropathies. In a recent report, we have characterized a novel PMP22βdeficient mouse model in which the first two coding exons were replaced by the
Peripheral nerves of mutant mice deficient for peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) or connexin32 (Cx32) display similar pathologies as observed in hereditary human peripheral neuropathies. Mice lacking PMP22 develop focal hypermyelination followed by myelin degeneration and axonal atrophy. Cx32-def
Myelin gene expression (Po, MBP, P,, and MAG) was investigated during Wallerian degeneration and in the presence or absence of subsequent axonal regeneration and remyelination. The steady state levels of mRNA and protein were assessed in the crushed or permanently transected rat sciatic nerve at 0,
