Abstract excerpt
The Trembler-j (Tr-j) mouse is a naturally occurring mutant with a point mutation in the peripheral myelin protein-22 gene causing severe peripheral nerve demyelination. It is a genetically homologous murine model for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT 1A). Our prior pilot studies using stimulated single-fiber needle electromyograpy (SSFEMG) showed increased jitter in 60-day-old Tr-j mice compared to...
