Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the genetic loci/mutations among the Chinese Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 (CMT1), which accounts for approximately 70% of Charcot-Marie-Tooth; and to study the genetic heterogeneity and mutation frequency. METHODS: CMT1A duplication and mutations at loci of MPZ, Cx32/GJB1, EGR2, and LITAF/SIMPLE were analyzed among 32 clinically diagnosed CMT1 patients of Chinese ancestry. RESULTS:...
