Fast responses to stepping on an unexpected surface height depend on intact large-diameter nerve fibers: a study on Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1A disease.
The contribution of reflexes from the large myelinated afferents in the control of normal and perturbed gait in humans is a highly debated issue. One way to investigate this topic is by studying normal and perturbed gait in patients lacking large myelinated fibers in the distal limb (Charcot-Marie-Tooth [CMT] type 1A disease). Such patients should have delayed and decreased reflexes if the latt...
متن کاملCharcot–Marie–Tooth disease: Genetics, epidemiology and complications
Background and aims: Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT) is the most prevalent hereditary neuropathy and its frequency is 1 in 2500. CMT is a heterogeneous disease and has different clinical symptoms. The prevalence of CMT and involved genes differ in different countries. CMT patients experience considerable sleep problems and a higher risk of decreased quality of life. In this w...
متن کاملLong-term analyses of innervation and neuromuscular integrity in the Trembler-J mouse model of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
A large fraction of hereditary demyelinating neuropathies, classified as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A, is associated with misexpression of peripheral myelin protein 22. In this study, we characterized morphologic and biochemical changes that occur with diseaseprogression in neuromuscular tissue of Trembler-J mice, a spontaneous rodent model of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A. Using a...
متن کاملClinical and Pathological Variation of Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1A in a Large Chinese Cohort
Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1A (CMT1A) caused by peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) gene duplication is the most common form of hereditary polyneuropathy. Twenty-four genetically confirmed CMT1A patients with sural nerve biopsies were enrolled in this study. The clinical picture included a great variability of phenotype with mean onset age of 22.2 ± 14.5 years (1-55 years). Pathologically, we observe...
متن کاملCharcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A: a clinical, electrophysiological, pathological, and genetic study.
Various clinical manifestations, electrophysiological findings, and sural nerve biopsies are reported in a Taiwanese family with type 1A Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT-1A). In addition, molecular genetic studies for duplication of the peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) gene were also performed. There were 3 patients (2 men and 1 woman) with ages at onset ranging from 37 to 44 years. The ons...
