Abstract excerpt
The aim of our study was to characterize electrophysiologically and explain the genetic cause of severe Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) in a 3.5-year-old with asymptomatic parents and a maternal grandfather with a history of mild adult-onset axonal neuropathy. Severity of neuropathy was assessed by Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy score (CMTNS). Whole-exome sequencing was performed using an Illumina TruSeq Exome...
