Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We reviewed current knowledge of the molecular and genetic bases of hereditary peripheral neuropathies, with special emphasis on the senso motor neuropathies and their different clinical phenotypes. DEVELOPMENT: The peripheral neuropathies show great clinical variability and genetic heterogeneity. To date 12 genes and over 20 genetic loci have been described in relation to Charcot Marie Tooth disease...
