Heterogeneity of axonal pathology in Chinese patients with giant axonal neuropathy.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) is a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in the GAN gene. Herein we report ultrastructural changes in Chinese patients with GAN. METHODS: General clinical assessment, sural nerve biopsy, and genetic analysis were performed.
