It has been demonstrated that abnormal levels of PMP22 expression due to altered gene dosage in CMT1A neuropathy alters Schwann cell growth and differentiation. On the other hand, disease-related missense mutations within transmembrane domains of PMP22 disturb intracellular protein trafficking leadi
We studied a 25-year-old black woman with healthy parents and her 2-year, 11-month-old son. Her motor development was delayed and she started to walk with support when she was 6 years old. She never walked independently and had always used a wheelchair. Neurological evaluation showed severe weakness
Severe inherited dysmyelinating diseases of the peripheral nervous system, the Charcot-Marie-Tooth type1A disease (CMT1A) and the hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP) are associated with a large DNA duplication or deletion of a chromosomal region containing the peripheral
Previously we reported the amplification of the peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) gene in cell lines of human osteogenic and glioma tumors. PMP22 normally is expressed at high levels in Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system and is suggested to function as a structural protein of the myel
## Communicated by Mark Paalman Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and related inherited peripheral neuropathies, including Dejerine-Sottas syndrome, congenital hypomyelination, and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP), are caused by mutations in three myelin genes: PMP22,
