Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth type I demyelinating neuropathies are genetically heterogeneous disorders (chrmosome 17,1,X). There are at least three genes on X chromosome, the more frequently involved being Cx32 in Xq13.1. Cx32 encodes for connexin-32, a gap junction protein of 283 aminoacids. We report the results of molecular studies in a CMTX1 Italian family, in which the mutation, found in the 5'-UTR, resulted in an...
