Abstract

HEREDITARY DEMYELINATING NEUROPATHIES IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD At the Hospital das Clinicas, Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo we have categorized so far 1319 CMT1/CMT4 patients. At the beginning of our activities (1997), those patients suspected of having CMT were submitted to nerve conductions studies and those with upper limbs CV < 38 m/s or having intermediate values were initially submitted to the PMP22 duplication/deletion test. Gradually, we introduced PMP22, MPZ and GJB1 Sanger sequencing.
