Evidence for macrophage‐mediated myelin disruption in an animal model for Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth neuropathy type 1A
22 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 1A (CMT 1 A) is the most common inherited neuropathy in humans and is mostly caused by a 1.5-Mb tandem duplication of chromosome 17 comprising the gene for the peripheral myelin protein 22-kDa (PMP 22). Although there are numerous studies on the functional role of PMP 22, the mechanisms of myelin degeneration under PMP 22-overexpression conditions have not yet been fully...
