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 slow motor median nerve conduction velocity (NCV) (less than 38 m/s), and type 2, the axonal form, with a normal or slightly reduced NCV. Distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN), also known as spinal CMT, is a third type of CMT characterized by normal motor and sensory NCV and degeneration of spinal cord anterior horn cells. See CMT1B (118200) and CMT1A (118220) for descriptions of autosomal dominant slow nerve conduction types of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. See CMT4A (214400) and CMTX1 (302800) for autosomal recessive and X-linked forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, respectively. Several forms of axonal CMT neuropathies caused by mutations in different genes or at different loci have been described, including CMT2B (600882), CMT2B1 (605588), CMT2B2 (605589), CMT2C (606071), CMT2D (601472), CMT2E (607684), CMT2F (606595), CMT2G (608591), CMT2H (607731), CMT2I (607677), CMT2J (607736), and CMT2K (607831).;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the mitofusin 2 gene (MFN2, 608507.00001);

Prefixed ID : #609260;
