Abstract excerpt
Disruption of axon-glia interactions in the peripheral nervous system has emerged as a major cause of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), a condition characterized by multiple congenital postural abnormalities involving the major joints. Several genes crucially important to the biology of Schwann cells have now been implicated with AMC. One such gene is LGI4 which encodes a secreted glycoprotein. LGI4 is...
