Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies (HMSN) comprises a wide clinical spectrum of related disorders with defects in peripheral nerve myelination. Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1 (CMT1) is the most common form and is usually a mild disease with onset in the first or second decade; however there is a
In a previous study, we have shown that N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1), classified in databases as a tumor suppressor and heavy metal-response protein, is mutated in hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy Lom (HMSNL), a severe autosomal recessive form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease
DNA-based mutation analysis on the connexin 32 gene was performed in 49 families with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) type 1 but without duplication involving the chromosomal region, 17p12-p11.2. Mutations were identified in five of the 49 families, and four of the five mutations were hitherto und
