Abstract excerpt
Peripheral myelin protein-22 (PMP22) is expressed in myelinating Schwann cells and shows significant homology to murine growth arrest-specific gene gas3. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1a (CMT1a) is a common hereditary demyelinating neuropathy. Recently it was demonstrated that the gene for PMP...
