Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous peripheral neuropathy. The objective of this study was to find the causative mutation(s) in a demyelinating autosomal dominant CMT family. A high density SNP-based genome-wide linkage scan was performed, and causative mutations were determined by sequencing of candidate genes in the linkage disequilibrium region. Linkage analysis...
