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. Other mutations in this same gene have been described in separate families with various skeletal dysplasias. Further clarification is needed of the different phenotypes associated with this gene. METHODS: We performed clinical evaluation, electrophysiology, and genetic analysis of the TRPV4 gene in 2 families...
