The gene encoding ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1 is mutated in axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 4A disease.

We identified three distinct mutations and six mutant alleles in GDAP1 in three families with axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) neuropathy and vocal cord paresis, which were previously linked to the CMT4A locus on chromosome 8q21. 1. These results establish the molecular etiology of CMT4A ( MIM 214400) and suggest that it may be associated with both axonal and demyelinating phenotypes.[1]
