Abstract

A late onset axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth phenotype is described, resulting from a novel mutation in the myelin protein zero (MPZ) gene. Comparative computer modelling of the three dimensional structure of the MPZ protein predicts that this mutation does not cause a significant structural change. The primary axonal disease process in these patients points to a function of MPZ in maintenance of the myelinated axons, apart from securing stability of the myelin layer.
