A 2-year follow-up study of cigarette smoking and risk of dementia.

abstract：:Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) has been classified into two types: demyelinating forms (CMT1) and axonal forms (CMT2). Mutations in the CMT2A locus have been linked to the KIF1B and the mitofusin 2 (MFN2) genes. Here, we report a German patient with CMT2 with an underlying spontaneous mutation (c.281G-->A) in the M...
