Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Current methods to determine gene dosage are time-consuming and labor-intensive. We describe a new and rapid method to assess gene copy number for identification of DNA duplications or deletions occurring in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP), respectively. METHODS: We studied 16 patients with HNPP, 4 with CMT1A, and 49...
