Researchers Identify New Mutation in Gene Linked to CMT Type 4H

Researchers identified a novel genetic mutation affecting the FGD4 gene in a patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4H (CMT4H). With an early onset, CMT4 is a slow progressive neurological disease caused by genetic variations in genes involved in nerve cells function or structure. In the CMT4H subtype, several…
