Selective defects in channel permeability associated with Cx32 mutations causing X-linked Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease

The X-linked form of Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMTX) is caused by mutations in connexin32 (Cx32), a gap junction protein expressed by Schwann cells where it forms reflexive channels that allow the passage of ions and signaling molecules across the myelin sheath. Although most mutations result in...
