Abstract
This is the largest sample of electrophysiological data obtained so far from CMT1A patients. Axonal degeneration as assessed by means of CMAP amplitude reflected clinical impairment and was consistent with a slowly progressive length-dependent neuropathy. All patients typically had markedly slowed NCV that did, however, slightly increase with age of the patients. The improvement of NCV might depend on myelin thickness remodelling that occurs during the adult life of CMT1A patients.
