Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1C (CMT1C) is caused by mutations in the small integral membrane protein of the lysosome/late endosome (SIMPLE). We analyzed the coding sequence of SIMPLE in DNA of 53 unrelated cases of dominant demyelinating CMT disease with no mutations in PMP22, GJB1, MPZ, EGR2, and NEFL genes. Four different missense mutations were observed in six families. The mutation Gly112Ser was found in...
