Abstract excerpt
X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMTX) disease is a hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy caused by mutations in the gap junction beta 1 gene (GJB1 codes for connexin 32). In this study we report six novel mutations p.Met1Arg, p.Leu9Phe, p.Ser17Tyr, p.Val63Phe, p.Val170Ile, and p.Leu212Phe in GJB1 and their phenotypic expression. These mutations affect both intracellular and extracellular parts of the GJB1...
