All patients in this cohort were negative for PMP22 duplication or MFN2 mutations depending on whether they had CMT1 or CMT2.
↵* Patients with CMT2 and distal hereditary motor neuropathy screened.
↵† An additional 11 patients had heterozygous mutations but only had the hot spot (exon 11) screened.
↵‡ Only nine selected patients screened hence the higher hit rate.
