Abstract
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most common inherited peripheral neuropathy. It is a pathologically heterogeneous group of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies (HMSN), characterized by slowly progressive weakness and atrophy, primarily in the distal leg muscles. The incidence is estimated to be approximately 1 in 2,500.
