NIH Rare Diseases: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a group of disorders that affect the peripheral nerves, the nerves running from outside the brain and spine. Defects in at least 30 genes cause different forms of this disease. Common symptoms may include foot drop, foot deformity, loss of lower leg muscle, numbness in the foot or leg, “slapping" gait (feet hit the floor hard when walking), and weakness of the hips, legs, or feet. There is currently no cure for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, but physical therapy, occupational therapy, braces and other orthopedic devices, pain medication, and orthopedic surgery can help manage and improve symptoms. There are over 40 types of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. You can search for more information on a particular type of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease from the GARD Home page. Enter the name of the condition in the GARD search box, and then select the type from the drop down menu.30
MalaCards: Charcot-marie-tooth Disease, also known as CMT, is related to tooth disease and charcot-marie-tooth disease type 1. An important gene associated with Charcot-marie-tooth Disease is MPZ (myelin protein zero), and among its related pathways is Endocytosis. The compounds phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and 2,3-cyclic nucleotide have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include whole blood, brain and spinal cord, and related mouse phenotypes are skeleton and respiratory system. MedlinePlus: Charcot-marie-tooth disease (cmt) is a group of genetic nerve disorders. it is named after the three doctors who first identified it. in the united states, cmt affects about 1 in 3,300 people. cmt affects your peripheral nerves. peripheral nerves carry movement and sensation signals between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body. symptoms usually start around the teen years. foot problems such as high arches or hammertoes can be early symptoms. as cmt progresses, your lower legs may weaken. later, your hands may also become weak. there is no cure. the disease can be so mild you don't realize you have it or severe enough to make you weak. many people with cmt lead active lives and have a normal life span. physical therapy, occupational therapy, braces and other devices and sometimes surgery can help you cope. genetics home reference23 NINDS: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is one of the most common inherited neurological disorders, affecting approximately 1 in 2,500 people in the31 Genetics Home Reference: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a group of progressive disorders that affect the peripheral nerves and result in problems with movement and sensation. Peripheral nerves connect the brain and spinal cord to muscles and to sensory cells that detect sensations such as touch, pain, heat, and sound.17 Wikipedia: Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT), also known as Charcot–Marie–Tooth neuropathy, hereditary...44 more... |
