GJB1/Connexin 32 whole gene deletions in patients with X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

Abstract excerpt

The X-linked form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTX) is the second most common form of this genetically heterogeneous inherited peripheral neuropathy. CMT1X is caused by mutations in the GJB1 gene. Most of the mutations causative for CMT1X are missense mutations. In addition, a few disease causative nonsense mutations and frameshift deletions that lead to truncated forms of the protein have also been reported...
