Description : Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) 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). Autosomal recessive forms of CMT are less frequent than the autosomal dominant or X-linked forms. One form of autosomal recessive axonal CMT (CMT2B1; 605588) is caused by mutation in the LMNA gene (150330) on chromosome 1q21.2-q21.3.;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the polynucleotide kinase 3-prime phosphatase gene (PNKP, 605610.0007).;

Prefixed ID : #605589;
