Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) may follow infections with agents that express protein antigens similar to those on normal nerve fibers. It is not yet known what predisposes about 1 in 1000 persons to develop GBS after a Campylobacter jejuni infection. Genetic factors have been reported to be involved in GBS. In this study, we present a patient with a family history of demyelinating neuropathy and a severe course of GBS who showed a duplication on chromosome 17p11.2–12, the gene locus of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A. Methods: We report a patient with GBS characterized by complete tetraparesis, s…
