Original Source: CMT2C with vocal cord paresis associated with short stature and mutations in the TRPV4 gene.
BACKGROUND: Recently, mutations in the transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 4 gene (TRPV4) have been reported in Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 2C (CMT2C) with vocal cord paresis.
