Analysis of compound heterozygous mice reveals that the Trembler mutation can behave as a gain-of-function allele.

The most common form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, CMT1A, is correlated with a 1.5 megabase duplication on chromosome 17p.11.2 containing the peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) gene. Deletion of the same region is associated with a second inherited neural disorder, the hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP). Moreover, several distinct point mutations within the PMP22 coding region are...
