Demyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common subtype of CMT. It is caused mainly by 17p11.2 heterozygous duplication, but also by mutations in more than 20 genes which affect development and function of Schwann cells. To investigate the profile of genes mutated and clinical features in demyelinating CMT of Chinese descent, we collected a cohort of 44 demyelinating CMT patients and screened...
