Autosomal dominant axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (CMT2) is a

heterogeneous group of disorders with seven chromosomal loci mapped in the

uncomplicated forms of CMT2. The authors report clinical, electrophysiologic,

and genetic analysis of a Polish CMT2 family. Nine known CMT2 gene loci and one

MPZ gene locus have been excluded. The authors' findings suggest that this

family represents a novel form of CMT2 disease.
