Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy (CMT) is one of the most common hereditary disorders, affecting 1:2500 individuals. The major mutation--microduplication of 1.4 megabases in 17p11.2 region, which is responsible for 68-90 % of cases of CMT1, results in CMT1A. In the present article we provide the population genetic study in 52 unrelated non-CMT volunteers from population of Ukraine in three STRs (D17S921, D17S1358...
