X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy (CMTX) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding Gap Junction Protein Beta-1 (GJB1)/Connexin32 (Cx32) in Schwann cells. Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) is an important autocrine factor supporting Schwann cell survival and differentiation and stimulating axon regeneration and myelination. Improvements in these parameters have been shown previously in a CMT1 model, TremblerJ mouse,...
