Abstract excerpt

Peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) is a small, hydrophobic glycoprotein, which is most prominently expressed by Schwann cells as a component of compact myelin of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Recent progress in molecular genetics revealed that mutations affecting the PMP22 gene including...
