We studied 29 families with X-linked dominant CMT (CMTX1) neuropathy. Twenty-five families showed mutations in the coding region of the connexin32 (Cx32) gene. The mutations included five nonsense mutations, 17 missense mutations, two medium size deletions and one insertion. Most missense mutations
We studied the relationship between the genotype and clinical phenotype in 27 families with dominant X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMTX1) neuropathy. Twenty-two families showed mutations in the coding region of the connexin32 (cx32) gene. The mutations include four nonsense mutations, eight missense
X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT-X) is caused by mutations of connexin-32 (Cx-32), which encodes a gap-junction protein. Whether the neuropathy is primarily demyelinative or axonal remains to be established. We report findings of prominent demyelination in a 71-year-old woman with late-ons
