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
The two most common subtypes of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease are CMT1A and CMTX1. To determine whether these different genetic entities display different morphological phenotypes we compared sural nerve biopsies of CMT1A patients due to PMP22 duplication with biopsies of CMTX1 patients with pro
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
