Gene: [08q/CMT4A] Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy 4A;


COM

CMT1A is due to a mutation in the PMP22 gene - peripheral myelin protein 22 (GEM:17p112/PMP22). The PMP2 gene (GEM:08q2/PMP2) was mapped to the same region as CMT4A and Othmane-1995 considered PMP2 as a candidate gene for CMT4A but they excluded PMP2 as the defect in CMT4A."
