Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: X-linked Charcot-Marie Tooth (CMT) is caused by mutations in the connexin32 gene that encodes a polypeptide which is arranged in hexameric array and form gap junctions. METHODS: We describe two novel mutations in the connexin32 gene in two Norwegian families. RESULTS: Family 1 had a c.225delG (R75fsX83) which causes a frameshift and premature stop codon at position 247. This probably results in a...
