Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) or hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type Ia (HMSN type Ia) is an autosomal dominant demyelinating polyneuropathy, which may result from duplications as large as 1.5 Mb on chromosome 17p 11.2-p12 encompassing the gene for the peripheral myelin protei

Recently, it has been shown that Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1a (CMT1a) is linked with a duplication of a DNA segment that is detected by probe VAW409R3, and that is located on chromosome 17p11.2. Here, we show that this duplication also contains VAW412R3a, but not A10-41 and EW503. Accounting
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
