Associated persons: Jean-Martin Charcot Johann Hoffmann Pierre Marie Howard Henry Tooth Description: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, the so-called neural or spinal form of muscular atrophy, is the commonest disease within a group of conditions called Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathies (HMSN). A syndrome characterized by slowly progressive wasting and weakness of distal muscle of the arms and feet, caused by degeneration of the peripheral nerves, nerve roots, and even the spinal cord, with loss of reflexes, loss of cutaneous sensations and develeopment of foot drop. Optic atrophy is sometimes present.

Onset is in the lower limbs first causing weakness around the ankles and, often, an abnormality in the shape of the feet (high in-step.) After many years, weakness may develop in the hands and spread upwards in the lower limbs to affect the knees and thighs. Mild loss of sensation may be present in the feet and hands. The onset of the condition may be from childhood to late middle or old age. Inheritance patterns Autosomal dominant is the most common pattern of inheritance. Autosomal recessive (least common) X-linked passed to both sons and daughters. However, affected sons will usually display more severe symptoms. Prenatal diagnosis In families who have Type 1a prenatal diagnosis is now becoming available but is rarely requested.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease What is it? Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease or Peroneal Muscular Atrophy is the commonest disease within a group of conditions called Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathies (HMSN) . This group of diseases are caused by degeneration of the peripheral nerves, nerve roots, and even the spinal cord. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is also known as HMSN Type I, and is the most common disease in the group. The nerves that supply the small muscles of the feet are affected, causing weakness and deformity in the feet. There is also loss of position and vibration sense to the feet. Much later, the small muscles of the hands are also affected. What causes it? The disease is hereditary, and is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. What are the symptoms? The affected child presents with high arches in his feet, as well clumsiness and pain in his feet and legs. Due to muscle imbalance in the feet, the child may develop a dropfoot , as well as a cavus foot , where the arch of the foot is very pronounced and fixed. Later, if the small muscles of the hands are also affected, he may develop clawing of the fingers. The affected child has normal intelligence, and a normal life span.

What is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease? 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-Marie-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.

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.

NHGRI Clinical Research on Charcot-Marie-Tooth Additional Resources for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease What do we know about 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.
