1. charcot-marie-tooth disease

   Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) is a hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy of the peripheral nervous system characterized by progressive loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation across various parts of the body. This disease is the most commonly inherited neurological disorder, affecting about one in 2,500 people. It is named after those who classically described it: the Frenchman Jean-Martin Charcot (1825–1893), his pupil Pierre Marie (1853–1940), and the Briton Howard Henry Tooth (1856–1925).There is no known cure. Care focuses on maintaining function. CMT was previously classified as a subtype of muscular dystrophy.

1. charcot-marie-tooth disease

   Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a group of inherited conditions that damage the peripheral nerves. These nerves are responsible for passing on commands from the brain to the muscles (motor nerves) and transmitting information back to the brain about sensations, such as pain, heat, cold, and touch (sensory nerves). Symptoms include muscle weakness and atrophy, foot deformities, difficulty walking, and loss of sensation in the feet and legs. CMT usually progresses slowly and may vary in severity even among family members. There's no cure for CMT, but therapies can help manage symptoms.

1. Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease

   A hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy transmitted most often as an autosomal dominant trait and characterized by progressive distal wasting and loss of reflexes in the muscles of the legs (and occasionally involving the arms). Onset is usually in the second to fourth decade of life. This condition has been divided into two subtypes, hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) types I and II. HMSN I is associated with abnormal nerve conduction velocities and nerve hypertrophy, features not seen in HMSN II. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1343)
