We identified three distinct mutations and six mutant alleles in GDAP1 in three families with axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) neuropathy and vocal cord paresis, which were previously linked to the CMT4A locus on chromosome 8q21.1. These results establish the molecular etiology of CMT4A (MIM 214400) and suggest that it may be associated with both axonal and demyelinating phenotypes.
我们在三个患有轴索性夏科-马里-图思(CMT)神经病和声带麻痹的家族中,于GDAP1基因中鉴定出三种不同的突变和六个突变等位基因,这些家族之前与8号染色体q21.1区域的CMT4A基因座相关联。这些结果确定了CMT4A(MIM 214400)的分子病因,并表明它可能与轴索性和脱髓鞘性表型均有关联。
