## Abstract The purpose was to study the clinical features and genetics of a large Chinese family with Charcot–Marie–Tooth (CMT) disease. A genome‐wide linkage scan using Applied Biosystems v. 2.5 411 short tandem repeat (STR) markers was performed in this family. Mutation screening was conducted o
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease consists of genetically heterogeneous neuropathies. Molecular genetic procedures have shown that most patients with CMT type 1 (autosomal dominant, hypertrophic form) have 1.5 Mb CMTlA duplication containing peripheral myelin protein-22 (PMP-22) gene
The myelin protein zero gene (MPZ) maps to chromosome lq22-23 and encodes the most abundant peripheral nerve myelin protein. The Po protein functions as a homophilic adhesion molecule in myelin compaction. Mutations in the MPZ gene are associated with the demyelinating peripheral neuropathies Charco
