Elevated Peripheral Myelin Protein 22, Reduced Mitotic Potential, and Proteasome Impairment in Dermal Fibroblasts from Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 1A Patients

Abstract excerpt

A common form of hereditary autosomal dominant demyelinating neuropathy known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is linked with duplication of the peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) gene. Although studies from animal models have led to better understanding of the pathobiology of these neuropathies, there continues to be a gap in the translation of findings from rodents to humans. Because PMP22 was...
