ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides compositions, methods and kits for the detection of genetic polymorphisms or mutations related to Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 1B. The polymorphism or mutations generally occur in the protein P0 gene in chromosome 1. Also provided are mutant forms of protein P0 and methods for screening compounds to identify compounds that enhance binding between mutant P0 proteins.
