Effect of an R69C Mutation in the Myelin Protein Zero Gene on Myelination and Ion Channel Subtypes
1 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Most mutations in the myelin protein zero gene (MPZ) typically cause a severe demyelinating/dysmyelinating neuropathy that begins in infancy or an adult-onset axonal neuropathy. Axonal degeneration in the late-onset H10P mutation may be caused by the disruption of axoglial interaction. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate sural nerve biopsy samples from a patient with early-onset Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1B...
