Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 4B (CMT4B), an autosomal recessive demyelinating neuropathy characterized by focally folded myelin sheaths in the peripheral nerve, has been associated with mutations in the gene encoding myotubularin-related protein 2, MTMR2, on chromosome 11q22. To investigate whether mutations in MTMR2 may also cause different forms of CMT, we screened 183 unrelated patients with a broad spectrum of...
