2020-01-30
Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 1A (CMT1A) results from a duplication of the PMP22 gene leading to an excess of PMP22, a deficit of myelination and an instability of the myelin sheath in peripheral nerves. Patients present with reduced nerve conduction velocity, muscle waste, hand and foot deformations and foot drop walking problems. As gene silencing therapy has been shown to be effective in other monogenic neurolog...
