Mutations in the connexin 32 gene in X-linked dominant charcot - marie - tooth disease (CMTX1)

Abstract

Following correspondence with the authors of reference 10 within the above article, the authors wish to amend the seventh and eighth sentences in the second paragraph of the Introduction to read:. PMP22 gene mutations have recently been identified in two Dejerine-Sottas patients, each of whom was heterozygous for the PMP22 mutation suggesting a specific amino acid substitution. The results suggest that Dejerine-Sottas syndrome may arise from dominant point mutation alleles of the PMP22 gene (Roa, B.B., Dyck, P.J., Marks, H.G., Chance, P.F. and Lupski, J.R.
