A peek behind the curtain: peer review and editorial decision making at Stroke.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To determine the clinical consequences of the PMP22 point mutation, T118M, which has been previously considered to either cause an autosomal recessive form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease or be a benign polymorphism. METHODS:We analyzed patients from five separate kindreds and characterized their periph...
