Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1a (CMT1a): evidence for trisomy of the region p11.2 of chromosome 17 in south Wales families.
The gene for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1a (CMT1a) has been localised to chromosome 17p11.2. Locus D17S122 is recognised by the DNA probe pVAW409R3 which detects an MspI polymorphism with three alleles in the normal population. Subjects with CMT1a show evidence of trisomy for this region of chromosome 17 by displaying either all three alleles or a dosage effect when only two alleles are p...
متن کاملNerve excitability properties in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is commonly considered a prototype of a hereditary demyelinating polyneuropathy. Apart from the myelin involvement, there has been little information on axonal membrane properties in this condition. Taking advantage of the uniform nature of the disease process, we undertook the in vivo assessment of multiple axonal excitability properties at the media...
متن کاملDNA duplication associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A.
Charcot-Marie-tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) was localized by genetic mapping to a 3 cM interval on human chromosome 17p. DNA markers within this interval revealed a duplication that is completely linked and associated with CMT1A. The duplication was demonstrated in affected individuals by the presence of three alleles at a highly polymorphic locus, by dosage differences at RFLP alleles, and by ...
متن کاملCharcot-Marie-Tooth type 1A disease from patient to laboratory.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a well-known neural or spinal type of muscular atrophy. It is the most familiar disease within a group of conditions called Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathies (HMSN). The disease was discovered by three scientists several years ago. Several genes are involved as the causative agents for the disease. Hundreds of causative mutations have been found and ...
متن کاملCharcot-Marie-Tooth disease
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most prevalent peripheral inherited neuropathy (1/2500 to 10 000; 2.8/10 000 in Spain), and the mean age at onset is 16 years (range 2 to 50 years, but presentation in the early infancy and as late as the 80's has been reported). Patients present with motor and sensory polyneuropathic semiology (distal lower limb weakness and atrophy, gait abnormalities ...
