Abstract
A gene mutated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4B (CMT4B), an autosomal recessive demyelinating neuropathy with myelin outfoldings, has been mapped on chromosome 11q22. Using a positional-cloning strategy, we identified in unrelated CMT4B patients mutations occurring in the gene MTMR2, encoding myotubularin-related protein-2, a dual specificity phosphatase (DSP).Entities:
