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
Peripheral myelin protein-22 (PMP22) is expressed in myelinating Schwann cells and shows significant homology to murine growth arrest-specific gene gas3. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type l a (CMTla) is a common hereditary demyelinating neuropathy. Recently it was demonstrated that the gene for PMP22
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
