Abstract excerpt
A mutation located in the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of the nerve-specific connexin-32 mRNA, previously found in a family with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTX), was analyzed for its effect on the expression of a reporter gene (luciferase) in transgenic mice and in transfected cells. Whereas both mutant and wild-type genes appeared to be transcribed and spliced efficiently, no luciferase was detected from...
