Abstract
A method is disclosed for diagnosing Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure Palsies (HNPP). A submicroscopic deletion of about 1.5 million basepairs on chromosome 17p11.2 is associated with the disorder in three unrelated pedigrees. The deletion includes all the markers known to map within the Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1A (CMT1A) duplication. The method involves detecting the presence or absence of the deletion in DNA extracted from a patient sample. The deletion may be detected by Southern analysis or fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis (FISH). Sequences or probes that may be used to detect the deletion are provided, as are components of a kit for diagnosing HNPP.
