GJB1 gene mutations in suspected inflammatory demyelinating neuropathies not responding to treatment

Abstract excerpt

It is generally accepted that while inflammatory demyelinating neuropathies often cause patchy demyelination resulting in conduction block, temporal dispersion and variation in conduction velocities, demyelinating hereditary neuropathies such as Charcot–Marie–Tooth (CMT) disease type 1A are usually characterised by homogeneous slow conduction. X-linked CMT is caused by mutations in the gap junction beta 1 ( GJB1...
