Identification of novel sequence variants in the neurofilament-light gene in a Japanese population: analysis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease patients and normal individuals.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations of the neurofilament-light (NEFL/NF-L) gene were examined in 124 unrelated Japanese patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) without known gene mutations, and 248 normal Japanese individuals. A new method, which can detect basepair mismatches with RNase cleavage on agarose gel electrophoresis, coupled with DNA sequencing, identified 8 novel sequence variations in the NF-L gene. In these sequence...
