Abstract excerpt
Over- and under expression of the 22 kDa peripheral myelin protein (PMP22) results in dysmyelinating peripheral neuropathies, such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) and hereditary neuropathy, with the liability to pressure palsies (HNPP). Expression of the PMP22 gene is driven by two alternative promoters, P1 and P2, with transcripts originating from P1 associated with peripheral nerve myelination by...
