The first de novo mutation of the connexin 32 gene associated with X linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

Abstract excerpt

X linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTX) is a hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy caused by mutations in the connexin 32 gene (Cx32). Using the SSCP technique and direct sequencing of PCR amplified genomic DNA fragments of the Cx32 gene from a Moroccan patient and her relatives, we identified the first de novo mutation of the Cx32 gene, consisting of a deletion of a G residue at position 499 in the Cx32...
