COX10 is located within the 17p12 recurrent deletion that is associated with hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP, OMIM# 162500), a mild form of peripheral neuropathy, or a dominant susceptibility locus to neuropathy after traumatic injury, akin to an animal model observed as the Wallerian degeneration slow phenotype modeled in the Wld triplication mouse [50]. This evidence concerns the gene COX10 and peripheral neuropathy.
