Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is characterized by distal muscle weakness and wasting, often resulting in foot deformities and gait disturbances, distal sensory impairment and by more or less typical changes in sural nerve biopsy. CMT type 1 is also characterized by reduced nerve conduction velocities. For these demyelinating subtypes, most frequently a 1.5 Mb tandem duplication in chromosome 17p11.2-12...
