Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous peripheral nervous system disorders.

METHODS: This study was performed to identify pathogenic mutations in five consanguineous Pakistani CMT families negative for PMP22 duplication. Genomic screening was performed by application of whole...
