Mild early onset axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease not linked to other axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth loci

Neurology. 2005 Feb 8;64(3):533-5. doi: 10.1212/01.WNL.0000150583.61561.84.

Abstract

Autosomal dominant axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (CMT2) is a heterogeneous group of disorders with seven chromosomal loci mapped in the uncomplicated forms of CMT2. The authors report clinical, electrophysiologic, and genetic analysis of a Polish CMT2 family. Nine known CMT2 gene loci and one MPZ gene locus have been excluded. The authors' findings suggest that this family represents a novel form of CMT2 disease.
