Cochlear implantation in patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease [PDF]
Two patients with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) considered to be associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) are reported. In case 1, a 23-year-old man presented with progressive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) from 10 years of ...

Clinical Development of Therapies for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease: Recommendations for Trial Design, Endpoints, and Regulatory Pathways. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) encompasses a heterogeneous group of inherited peripheral neuropathies. Despite being the most common genetic neurological condition, individual CMT subtypes are rare, presenting unique challenges for therapeutic development.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease With Cerebellar Atrophy
We report on, 1 36-year-old man of Swedish descent who had teenage onset of a progressive disorder with features of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and cerebellar ataxia. Cognition was normal. The polyneuropathy was of axonal type.

The causes of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease [PDF]
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease serves as the summary term for the most frequent forms of inherited peripheral neuropathies that affect motor and sensory nerves. In the last 12 years, 14 genes have been identified that cause different CMT subforms.

Particular aspects of myelin-axon interactions in health and disease : the expression of myelin-associated glycoprotein isoforms in CNS and PNS. Early axonal pathology in the dysmyelinating peripheral neuropathy CMT1A [PDF]
An intact myelin sheath is crucial for the rapid propagation of action potentials along myelinated axons. There are many neurodegenerative diseases associated with defect myelin sheaths resulting in severe clinical symptoms such as multiple sclerosis ...

Whole-exome sequencing detected a novel AIFM1 variant in a Han-Chinese family with Cowchock syndrome
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease(CMT) is a hereditary peripheral neuropathy, characterized by progressive distal hypoesthesia and amyotrophia. CMT is characterized by an X- linked recessive inheritance pattern.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 2A: novel mutations in the mitofusin 2 gene (
Background Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathies are a group of genetically heterogeneous diseases of the peripheral nervous system. Mutations in the MFN2 gene have been reported as the primary cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A.

Mutant glycyl-tRNA synthetase (Gars) ameliorates SOD1G93A motor neuron degeneration phenotype but has little affect on Loa dynein heavy chain mutant mice [PDF]
Background: In humans, mutations in the enzyme glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GARS) cause motor and sensory axon loss in the peripheral nervous system, and clinical phenotypes ranging from Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy to a severe infantile form of spinal ...
