Abstract excerpt
We report the detailed clinical, electrophysiological and molecular analysis of a patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease. DNA sequencing of the coding sequences of the neurofilament light chain polypeptide (NEFL) gene revealed a c.64C>T heterozygous, missense mutation resulting in a Pro22Ser amino acid substitution. Clinical and electrophysiological studies revealed a mixed axonal and demyelinating...
