Description : Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder
of the peripheral nervous system, characterized by progressive weakness and atrophy,
initially of the peroneal muscles and later of the distal muscles of the arms. - Classification
CMT neuropathy is subdivided into CMT1 (see 118200) and CMT2 (see 118210) types on
the basis of electrophysiologic and neuropathologic criteria. CMT1, or hereditary
motor and sensory neuropathy type I (HMSN I), is a demyelinating neuropathy, whereas
CMT2, or HMSN II, is an axonal neuropathy. Most patients with CMT are classified as
having CMT1 or CMT2 by use of a cut-off value of 38 m/s for the motor median nerve
conduction velocity (NCV). However, in some families with CMT, patients have motor
median NCVs ranging from 25 to 45 m/s. Families of this type were reported by Salisachs
(1974) and Davis et al. (1978). Davis et al. (1978) proposed that this form be designated
'intermediate' CMT. Claeys et al. (2009) stated that some CMT families may have an
even broader range of NCV than 25 to 45 m/s, with the lowest levels around 25 and
the highest levels within the normal range (50 m/s). They also suggested that the
term 'intermediate' should not be used to describe a single NCV value, but rather
the CMT subtype at the level of the family (e.g., in families with a range or combinations
of NCV values). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Autosomal Dominant Intermediate CMT In
addition to CMTDIB, which is caused by mutation in the DNM2 gene, other forms of dominant
intermediate CMT include CMTDIC (608323), caused by mutation in the YARS gene (603623)
on chromosome 1p35-p34l; CMTDID (607791), caused by mutation in the MPZ gene (159440)
on chromosome 1q22; CMTDIE with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (CMTDIE; 614455),
caused by mutation in the INF2 gene (610982) on chromosome 14q; and;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the dynamin-2 gene (DNM2, 602378.0001);
