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 disease type 1A (CMT1A) is a common autosomal dominant demyelinating peripheral neuropathy. 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
## Abstract We have constructed a 1.4βMb P1 artificial chromosome/bacterial artificial chromosome (PAC/BAC) contig spanning the 17q breakpoint of a constitutional translocation t(1;17)(p36.2;q11.2) in a patient with neuroblastoma. Three 17q breakpointβoverlapping cosmids were identified and sequenc
