Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is caused by 1.5-fold increased dosage of the PMP22; however, onset age and severity vary considerably among patients. The exact reason behind these phenotypic heterogeneities has rarely been discovered yet. Because miRNAs are the key regulators of gene expression, we speculated that variants of miRNAs might be the genetic modifiers for CMT1A. This study noticed a...
