You'll learn that CMT is usually quite slow in progression and that, while it presents challenges in daily life, there are many techniques and devices to help you adapt to those challenges. You'll read that many different genetic causes of CMT have been found, and cases vary greatly. But CMT is almost never life-threatening, and it seldom affects the heart and breathing functions. Another important extended family in my life is the Muscular Dystrophy Association, which offers a great program of services, leads the world in CMT research and keeps us well informed about the disease.

Help Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a group of progressive disorders affecting peripheral nerves. These nerves connect the brain and spinal cord to muscles as well as sensory cells that detect touch, pain, and temperature. The different types of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease are distinguished by genetic cause, pattern of inheritance, and nerve abnormality. Genetic factors cause the following types of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. The system for categorizing types of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is changing. Earlier systems were based largely on the pattern of inheritance and the particular abnormality that disrupts nerve function. With advances in molecular biology, new classification systems that focus on genetic causes are emerging. The genetic-based approach is gaining acceptance and is used here. Because there is not yet a universal system to classify types of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, the list of other names used for this disorder, found near the end of this summary, might be helpful.

Extractions: Facts 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. Back to top The neuropathy of CMT affects both motor and sensory nerves. A typical feature includes weakness of the foot and lower leg muscles, which may result in foot drop and a high-stepped gait with frequent tripping or falls. Foot deformities, such as high arches and hammertoes (a condition in which the middle joint of a toe bends upwards) are also characteristic due to weakness of the small muscles in the feet. In addition, the lower legs may take on an "inverted champagne bottle" appearance due to the loss of muscle bulk. Later in the disease, weakness and muscle atrophy may occur in the hands, resulting in difficulty with fine motor skills. Although sensory nerves are also involved, patients rarely notice significant numbness or pain.

Extractions: Signs and Symptoms Symptoms vary from mild to severe, from patient to patient, and even among family members with the disease. Symptoms are more severe in cases of early age of onset. The first indications of CMT are mild, usually foot and ankle weakness, and fatigue. If the toes have started to curl into "claw toes," wearing shoes may become painful. Weakness in the hands also may be present. Another sign of CMT is a highly arched foot (cavus arch). When the muscles of the foot weaken, an imbalance develops that typically raises the arch of the foot. This increases tension in the muscles on the bottom of the foot and worsens the curling of the toes. A change in gait is another common sign. When atrophy progresses, the muscle in the front of the leg usually is the first affected. This produces two distinct characteristics in gait:

http://www.mda.org.au/specific/mdacmt.html

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.

http://www.hosppract.com/genetics/9705gen.htm

Extractions: A broad spectrum of inherited neuropathy has been traced to three myelin genes, yet in the two most common disorders, there is no mutated gene. Instead, a gene has an extra or missing copy, as part of a 1.5-megabase DNA duplication or deletion. Eventually, duplications may emerge as a large fraction of all mutations. The discoveries have implications even for acquired disordersincluding carpal tunnel syndrome. Dr. Lupski is Cullen Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics, Professor of Pediatrics, and Director, Medical Scientist Training Program, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston. In 1886, the French physicians Jean Martin Charcot and Pierre Marie, and independently the English physician Howard Henry Tooth, described an insidious, slowly progressive atrophy of distal limb muscles that would eventually be recognized as the most common inherited disorder of the peripheral nervous system. It is also among the most common of all genetic disorders, affecting one person in 2,500. Characteristically, the illness becomes evident during the first two decades of life. Often, patients are liable to trip and sprain their ankles, and footdrop forces them to lift the knee, resulting in an equine gait. Eventually, pes cavus appears, and distal muscle atrophy may cause a stork-leg appearance. Weakness of hand muscles usually begins later; in severe cases, claw-like deformity develops.
