Duplication within the chromosome 17p11.2 (CMT1Adup), peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22), myelin protein zero (MPZ) and gap junction beta1-protein (GJB1) gene mutations are frequent causes of the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). A large number of mutations in these genes are listed in databases. Sequence variants identified in patients are frequently reported as mutations without further evaluation. We...
