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
