http://info.med.yale.edu/neurol/programs/neuromuscular/cmt.html

Extractions: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease History Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is an inherited disorder of progressive peripheral nerve dysfunction resulting in numbness and weakness. The first description of distal muscle weakness and wasting beginning in the legs was published by Jean Martin Charcot and Pierre Marie under the name of peroneal muscular atrophy in 1886. The same disease was described by Howard Henry Tooth in his Cambridge dissertation in 1886 under the name of peroneal progressive muscular atrophy. Tooth was the first to correctly attribute the symptoms to neuropathy, rather than myelopathy (spinal cord disease) as was previously believed. They Marinesco identified the presence of foot deformity and the familial nature of the disease, but incorrectly suggested that anterior horn cells may also be involved in the disease process. The early designation of peroneal muscular atrophy later gave way to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. More recent nomenclature designated CMT as Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy type I (HMSN-I). Recent advances in genetic research have identified several types of CMT, which correspond with specific genetic mutations (see

http://www.fact-index.com/c/ch/charcot_marie_tooth_disease.html

Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is an inherited disorder of nerves (neuropathy) that is characterized by loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation, predominantly in the feet and legs but also in the hands and arms in the advanced stages of disease. The disorder is caused by the absence of molecules that are essential for normal function of the nerves due to deficiencies in the structure of the genes coding these molecules. The absence of these chemical substances gives rise to dysfunction either in the axon or the myelin sheath of the nerve cell. Symptoms usually begin in late-childhood or early adulthood. Usually, the initial symptom is foot drop due to involvement of the peroneal nerve, which is responsible from raising the feet, early in the course of the disease. Wasting of muscle tissue of the lower parts of the legs may give rise to "stork leg" appearance. The diagnosis is established by electromyography examination (which shows that the velocity of nerve impulse conduction is decreased and the time required to charge the nerve is increased) and nerve biopsy. There is no treatment to replace the missing chemicals. The disease is named for those who classically described it: Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) and his pupil Pierre Marie (1853-1940) ( "Sur une forme particulière d'atrophie musculaire progressive, souvent familiale débutant par les pieds et les jambes et atteignant plus tard les mains"

MAIN SEARCH INDEX. Charcot Marie Tooth disease.
http://www.ehendrick.org/healthy/000296.htm

Extractions: Resources Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT) is the name of a group of inherited disorders of the nerves in the peripheral nervous system (nerves throughout the body that communicate motor and sensory information to and from the spinal cord) causing weakness and loss of sensation in the limbs. CMT is named for the three neurologists who first described the condition in the late 1800s. It is also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, and is sometimes called peroneal muscular atrophy, referring to the muscles in the leg that are often affected. The age of onset of CMT can vary anywhere from young childhood to the 50s or 60s. Symptoms typically begin by the age of 20. For reasons yet unknown, the severity in symptoms can also vary greatly, even among members of the same family. Although CMT has been described for many years, it is only since the early 1990s that the genetic cause of many of the types of CMT have become known. Therefore, knowledge about CMT has increased dramatically within a short time. The peripheral nerves 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 located in the feet and hands. As a result, the muscles connected to these nerves eventually weaken. CMT also affects the sensory nerves that carry information from the limbs to the brain. Therefore people with CMT also have sensory loss. This causes symptoms such as not being able to tell if something is hot or cold or difficulties with balance.

Extractions: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a hereditary neurological disorder characterized by muscle weakness and atrophy, primarily in the legs. Disappearance of the protective fatty layers surrounding the nerves (segmental demyelination) of peripheral nervous system and associated degeneration of part of the nerve cells (axons) characterize this disorder.

[Last updated: 7th April 2004] CMT is now referred to as Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy (HMSN), sometimes also described as Peroneal Muscular Atrophy There are thought to be many different types of HMSN but primary classifications are: See table below for further details. Epedimiological studies quote rates of 1.8:10,000 in Japan (Kurihara et.al., 2002) ; 17.5:100,100 in Central-southern Italy (Morocutti et.al., 2002) and 1:2500 in Norway . HMSN 1a is the most common form. Variable. Some forms are symptomatic by 5 years of age. HMSN 1 is usually evident before 30 years of age, while HMSN 2 tends to appear later.
