lower extremity weakness with tingling and numbness of right upper limb and lower limb. Electrophysiological studies showed
widespread, multifocal, motor > sensory, chronic peripheral neuropathy affecting the upper and lower limbs.Type:
demyelinating >> axonal.Genetic studies showed Heterozygous deletion of PMP22 gene (upstream, exons 1-5) along with
anking regions encompassing TEKT3 and COX10 genes were detected.Treatment for this usually self-limiting illness is
