Description : For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1, see CMT1B (118200). CMT1A is the most common form
of CMT. The average age of onset of clinical symptoms is 12.2 /- 7.3 years. Slow
nerve conduction velocity (NCV) less than 38 m/s is highly diagnostic and is a 100%
penetrant phenotype independent of age (Lupski et al., 1991, 1992).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the peripheral myelin protein-22 gene (PMP22, 601097.0001);
