Abstract excerpt
To investigate the pathogenic role of connexin-32 (Cx32) mutation in X-linked dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTX), dual whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings and tracer coupling were performed to investigate functional properties of wild-type and 22 CMTX mutant Cx32 proteins expressed in N2A cells. Ten mutant Cx32 proteins either formed defective junctional channels (Y65C, V95M, R107W, L156R, R164W and...
