Re: Study looks at muscle repair and resilience

[Guest guest]

Gretchen-

I just did some searching on this topic and it's really interesting. Apparently

the diseases

they are testing on are ones that lack specific proteins in the body. Are

doctors aware yet

on what the particular proteins are that are missing to cause some of the

different types of

CMT?

Found on MDA site:

(Cause — defects in the genes for proteins found in axons, fibers that carry

electrical

signals between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body, or in the

genes for

proteins found in myelin, a coating on axons that insulates and nourishes them)
