Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the myelin protein zero (MPZ) gene, located at chromosome 1q22, which encodes for the myelin protein zero made in the Schwann cells. Myelin protein zero is required for the proper formation and maintenance of myelin. Mutations at this locus have been identified in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy 1B (HMSN Ib).
