ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • hNF-LP22S;tTa transgenic (tg) mice recapitulated key features of CMT2E disease, including aberrant hindlimb posture, motor deficits, hypertrophy of muscle fibres and loss of muscle innervation without neuronal loss, and normal distribution of NF proteins along the sciatic nerve of hNF-LP22S; tTa mice was restored upon treatment with doxycycline
  • hNF-LE397K mice display progressive muscle atrophy in hind limb muscles without denervation
