Description : Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease constitutes a clinically and genetically heterogeneous
group of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies. On the basis of electrophysiologic
criteria, CMT is divided into 2 major types: type 1, the demyelinating form, characterized
by a motor median nerve conduction velocity less than 38 m/s (see CMT1B; 118200);
and type 2, the axonal form, with a normal or slightly reduced nerve conduction velocity.
For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of axonal CMT
type 2, see CMT2A1 (118210).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
