Description : Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease constitutes a clinically and genetically heterogeneous
group of hereditary motor and sensory peripheral neuropathies. On the basis of electrophysiologic
properties and histopathology, CMT has been divided into primary peripheral demyelinating
(type 1) and primary peripheral axonal (type 2) neuropathies. The demyelinating neuropathies
classified as CMT type 1, also known as HMSN I, are characterized by severely reduced
motor nerve conduction velocities (NCV) (less than 38 m/s) and segmental demyelination
and remyelination with onion bulb formations on nerve biopsy (see CMT1B; 118200).
The axonal neuropathies classified as CMT type 2, also known as HMSN II, are characterized
by normal or mildly reduced NCVs and chronic axonal degeneration and regeneration
on nerve biopsy (see CMT2A1; 118210). Distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN) (see
158590) is a spinal type of CMT characterized by exclusive motor involvement and sparing
of sensory nerves (Pareyson, 1999). There are X-linked, autosomal dominant (see 118200),
and autosomal recessive (see 214400) forms of CMT. The form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth
neuropathy that maps to chromosome Xq13 (CMTX1) is X-linked dominant or X-linked intermediate;
heterozygous females are more mildly affected than are hemizygous males. - Genetic
