Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease

Definition

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, also called hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN), is a group of disorders characterized by a chronic motor and sensory polyneuropathy. Based on nerve conduction velocities, the disease can be divided into demyelinating CMT (CMT1), axonal CMT (CMT2) and intermediate CMT (CMTDI/CMTRI). Although more than 70 disease genes for CMT are known, a large number of affected individuals remain without a genetic diagnosis.
