Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the neurofilament light (NFL) gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease. There is a wide range of clinical presentations in CMT patients harboring NFL mutations, with patients classified as CMT2E or CMT1F. In this study, we analyzed the effects of five NFL mutations on the assembly and intracellular distribution of intermediate filaments (IFs), and compared the results with those obtained...
