Abstract
A common peripheral neuropathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, progressively develops with distal muscle atrophy. Several genes expressed in Schwann cells and neurons have been identified to be responsible for this hereditary disease, and used in generating transgenic and knockout mice. Such mice are good disease models for cell biological and therapeutic studies.Entities:
