Abstract excerpt
Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsy (HNPP) is associated with a heterozygous 1.5 megabase deletion on chromosome 17 that includes the peripheral myelin protein (PMP) gene PMP22. We show that heterozygous PMP22 knock-out mice, which carry only one functional pmp22 allele and thu...
