Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 B (CMT1B) is a demyelinating neuropathy caused by mutations in the myelin protein zero (P0) gene (MPZ). A few cases of CMT1B were recently found to be characterized by focally folded myelin sheaths in nerve biopsy specimens; the significance of this association is unknown. Here, we describe two unrelated pedigrees harboring a heterozygous Ser49Leu substitution in P0ex. In both...
