Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, also called hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN), is a group of disorders characterized by a chronic motor and sensory polyneuropathy. Based on nerve conduction velocities, the disease can be divided into demyelinating CMT (CMT1), axonal CMT (CMT2) and intermediate CMT. Although more than 70 disease genes for CMT are known, a large number of affected individuals remain without a genetic diagnosis.
