Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Charcot Marie Tooth neuropathies arise from diverse genetic disturbances that impair axonal structure or myelin integrity. Variants in NEFL, encoding the light chain of neurofilaments, represent a rare cause of CMT and may disrupt filament assembly, axonal transport, and cytoskeletal stability. Because NEFL variants are uncommon and phenotypes variable, the pathogenic relevance of individual...
