We studied nerve conduction values, postural adaptation, sympathetic skin reflex, the variation in heart rate by the Valsalva ratio and pupillometry in 7 members of a French family in which CMT due to a Thr124Met mutation in the myelin protein zero (MPZ) gene was diagnosed.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 2 and P0 point mutations: two novel amino acid substitutions (Asp61Gly; Tyr119Cys) and a possible "hotspot" on Thr124Met.
An axonal form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease showing distinctive features in association with mutations in the peripheral myelin protein zero gene (Thr124Met or Asp75Val).
We observed a missense mutation in the peripheral myelin protein zero gene (MPZ, Thr124Met) in seven Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) families and in two isolated CMT patients of Belgian ancestry.
