Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene encoding peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) account for several inherited peripheral neuropathies in humans. We now show that transgenic mice expressing antisense PMP22 RNA exhibit modestly reduced levels of PMP22 together with a phenotype that is reminiscent of hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP), a human disease caused by a 1.5-Mb deletion of a chromosome 17...
