About one in 2500 people or over 2,000,000 people now have one of the many types of CMT. This group is for sharing feelings as well as life's ups and downs, learning, and mutual support for people with CMT, their friends, families, medical professionals, and anyone that wants to learn about CMT.

Extractions: Overview Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN), is an inherited, degenerative nerve disorder that causes muscle weakness and atrophy in the feet, legs, hands, and forearms. It is characterized by progressive loss of use and sensation in the limbs. Charcot, Marie, and Tooth are the names of the physicians who identified the disease and described its symptoms. It is not the same as Charcot's foot disease , a neuropathic joint disease that is a common complication of diabetes mellitus.

NHGRI Clinical Research on Charcot-Marie-Tooth Additional Resources for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is an inherited neurological disease characterized by a slowly progressive degeneration of the muscles in the foot, lower leg, hand, and forearm, and a mild loss of sensation in the limbs, fingers, and toes. The first sign of CMT is generally a high arched foot or gait disturbances. Other symptoms of the disorder may include foot-bone abnormalities such as high arches and hammer toes, problems with hand function and balance, occasional lower leg and forearm muscle cramping, loss of some normal reflexes, occasional partial sight and/or hearing loss, and, in some individuals, scoliosis (curvature of the spine). People with CMT disease usually begin to experience symptoms in adolescence or early adulthood. There is no cure for the disease, but there are treatment options, including physical therapy and bracing. Life expectancy is usually normal.

Extractions: What is Chacot-Marie-Tooth disease? Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a hereditary disorder marked by slowly progressive muscle weakness in the feet, lower legs, hands and forearms, and a mild loss of sensation in limbs, fingers, and toes. The weakness results from the degeneration of nerves that stimulate muscle rather than from a degenerative process in the muscle tissue itself. The disorder, named for three physicians who first identified it in 1886, is also known as peroneal muscular atrophy because if primarily affects the peroneal muscles. which are located in the lower leg. There are now thought to be at least two types of the disease - hypertrophic and neuronal - that differ to some degree in severity.

What is it? Symptoms Who's affected? Diagnosis and treatment Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease - also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) or peroneal muscular atrophy - is the name given to a group of conditions where the nerves to the muscles, particularly in the lower leg and hands, don't work properly. The part of the nerves carrying sensory signals back towards the brain may also be affected, leading to altered sensation in the affected areas. There are at least four different types of HMSN, which were originally classified on the basis of electrical tests of nerve conduction. But as genetic causes for these different conditions are discovered, so HMSN conditions are being reclassified into a wider group of disorders. Other features include high arched feet in many cases and, in some less common types, deafness, problems with vision, paralysis of the vocal cords and breathing difficulties.

Extractions: CMT affects the peripheral nerves, those groups of nerve cells carrying information to and from the spinal cord. CMT decreases the ability of these nerves to carry motor commands to muscles, especially those furthest from the spinal cord in the feet and hands. As a result, these muscles are weakened. CMT also causes mild sensory loss. CMT is named for the three neurologists who first described it, and does not involve the teeth in any way. It is also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, and is also sometimes called peroneal muscular atrophy, referring to the muscles in the leg affected early on in the disease. The symptoms grouped together under the name CMT can be caused by any of at least six different genetic defects. Most of the defects, identified as of early 1998, affect myelin, the coating that insulates nerve cells to promote efficient conduction. Myelin defects cause either a reduction in nerve conduction velocities, or a diminished nerve signal. CMT is currently subdivided into type 1A, type 1B, type 2, and type X, based on the particular genetic defect involved. All but type X exhibit the inheritance pattern known as autosomal dominant. In this pattern, only one defective gene copy is needed to develop the disease, which may be inherited from either parent (who will also have the disease). A person with CMT of this type has a 50% chance of passing the gene along to each offspring. CMT type X is inherited as an X-linked trait, meaning the gene is carried on the X chromosome. Women carry two X chromosomes, while men carry only one. Without a "backup" copy of the normal gene, a man with the CMT type X gene is more likely to be seriously affected than is a woman. Expression of the gene does occur in women to a lesser extent, leading to disease of variable severity. Affected men may pass the gene on to their daughters, but not to their sons.

Researchers at the Duke Center for Human Genetics have now identified a gene, known as mitofusin 2, that is associated with CMT type 2A. The gene is critical to the development of mitochondria, the structures in a cell that produce energy. The research was reported in the April 4, 2004, issue of Nature Genetics

Other Types of PN Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT) Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a broad term used to describe a group of inherited neurological disorders characterized by a slowly progressive degeneration of the muscles in the foot, lower leg, hand, and forearm, and a mild loss of sensation in the limbs, fingers, and toes. Three French doctors, Jean-Marie Charcot, Pierre Marie, and Howard Henry Tooth, discovered CMT in 1886. Although CMT is one of the most common inherited neuromuscular disorders, it is often misdiagnosed. The number of people in the United States that have CMT is currently estimated to be 125,000. The symptoms of CMT depend on which form of the disease is inherited, but generally start between mid-childhood and early adulthood. The first signs are usually foot abnormalities, such as an unusually high arch or flexed ("hammer") toes. People with CMT often trip on curbs. Sprained ankles and fractures of the ankles and lower legs are not uncommon. As the disease progresses, muscle weakness and wasting leads to difficulties with walking, running and balance. If the hands are affected, daily activities such as turning doorknobs, fastening buttons, or writing can become difficult. The disease is slowly progressive and, although many patients need to wear a brace to prevent their feet from dragging, the leg and foot problems are rarely disabling enough to require a wheelchair. CMT is not a fatal disease and the disorder does not affect normal life expectancy.

The damage in CMT occurs to your peripheral nerves or to the insulation covering your nerves (myelin sheath). The peripheral nerves are those outside of your central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). CMT most often affects the legs, feet and hands. It generally results in muscle weakness and loss of muscle bulk. In some cases, it may cause a mild loss of sensation. Named after the three physicians who first identified the disorder in 1886, CMT is a common inherited neurological disorder. It affects approximately 150,000 people in the United States and occurs in all races and ethnic groups. CMT most often is discovered between midchildhood and age 30, but can develop at any age.

Extractions: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is one of the most common inherited neurological disorders, affecting approximately 1 in 2,500 people in the United States. The disease is named for the three physicians who first identified it in 1886 - Jean-Martin Charcot and Pierre Marie in Paris, France, and Howard Henry Tooth in Cambridge, England. CMT, also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) or peroneal muscular atrophy, comprises a group of disorders that affect peripheral nerves. The peripheral nerves lie outside the brain and spinal cord and supply the muscles and sensory organs in the limbs. Disorders that affect the peripheral nerves are called peripheral neuropathies.
