Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) neuropathies belong to the most common neurogenetic disorders. To date, mutations in more than 40 genes are known to be able to cause CMT. This genetic heterogeneity is a challenge for genetic diagnostics. Data on frequencies of mutations in CMT genes from large patient cohorts are needed to develop strategies for efficient genetic testing. In this study we have analysed patient...
