A novel mutation in GJB1 (c.212T>G) in a Chinese family with X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

Abstract excerpt

Gap junction protein beta 1 (GJB1) gene mutations lead to X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMTX) disease. We investigated a Chinese family with CMTX and identified a novel GJB1 point mutation. Clinical and electrophysiological features of the pedigree were examined, and sequence alterations of the coding region of GJB1 that encode connexin32 were determined by direct sequencing. Sequence alignment of the mutation...
