Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene encoding the peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22), a tetraspan protein in compact peripheral myelin, are one of the causes of inherited demyelinating peripheral neuropathy. Most PMP22 mutations alter the trafficking of the PMP22 protein in Schwann cells, and this different trafficking has been proposed as the underlying mechanism of the disease. To explore this problem further, we compared...
