Abstract excerpt
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are ATP-independent chaperones that help correct the folding of denatured proteins and protect cells from stress. Mutations in HSPB1, HSPB8, and HSPB3 are implicated in inherited peripheral neuropathies (IPNs), such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (CMT2) and distal hereditary motor neuropathies (dHMN). This study, using whole exome sequencing or targeted gene sequencing,...
