Jean- Martin- Charcot, Pierre Marie, and Howard Henry Tooth all discovered this disease

They require therapy dogs since Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease has no cure and needs physical and occupational therapy.

Symptoms of Charcot Marie Tooth disease are lack of muscle, high arches in your feet and claw toes. Other diseases should be ruled out before this is locked in as a diagnosis.

X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTX) is caused by a defect in connexin 32. This protein forms connections between adjacent cells, allowing ions to flow between them.

The most common type of CMT is called CMT1A.

no difference, just the name. Same syndrome / disease

CMT is named for the three neurologists who first described the condition in the late 1800s

Yes, individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease can benefit from having a guide dog to assist with mobility and daily tasks. Guide dogs can provide support and assistance in navigating their surroundings, improving independence and quality of life. It's important to work with a reputable guide dog organization to get a properly trained dog that meets the specific needs of the child.

No the name come from Dr Charcot and Dr Marie of France and Dr. Tooth of England who first described the disease. I have Charcot Marie Tooth disease and have had continuous problems with my teeth. It maybe because of the nueropathy associated with CMT. I asked my dentist and he said it is possible they are associated. Doesn't have anything to do with the the doctor that helped discover the disease with the last name tooth. I am only 34 and take good care of my teeth I shouldn't be having so many problems with my teeth. I never had a cavity until I was 19. The last 10 years as my disease has progressed my dental problems have gotten worse.

Mutations in several genes cause the various types of CMT to occur. The most common form of the disorder, CMT1A, is caused by duplication in the peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) gene.

No, it's an inherited disorder. Mutation happen in certain chromosomes affecting the protein formation in axon. The results is a mixed motor and sensory disease with muscle weakness and neuropathy.

Yes, Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome can affect speech due to weakness in the muscles of the mouth and throat, making it difficult to articulate words clearly. This can result in speech difficulties such as slurring, mumbling, or a quiet voice. Speech therapy may help improve communication skills for individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome.

It is also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, and is sometimes called peroneal muscular atrophy, referring to the muscles in the leg that are often affected.

Mostly women; sometimes they show mild signs of having CMT.

Channelopathies include a wide range of neurologic diseases, including periodic paralysis , congenital myasthenic syndromes, malignant hypothermia, a form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and several other disorders.

CMT strikes millions of people worldwide, regardless of ethnic background or gender. It is estimated that at least 125,000 people (1 in 2500) in the United States suffer from Charcot-Marie-Tooth, although experts in the field think that number is much, much higher.

CMT types 1 and 2 can be broken down into subtypes based upon the gene that is causing CMT. The subtypes are labeled by letters, so there is CMT1A, CMT1B, etc.

Men are mostly affected by CMT; some women but few are affected by CMT.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is actually a heterogenous group of disorders known to be caused by variants on 40 genes. The most common form of CMT is caused by a duplication on chromosome 17 that results in an extra copy of the gene for Peripheral Myelin Protein 22 or PMP22. This duplication causes demyelination of the nerve axons, and, eventually, muscular atrophy. For more, visit www.charcot-marie-tooth.org.

Approximately 125,000 people in the USA and 1in every 2,500 people world wide.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), also known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy, hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) and peroneal muscular atrophy (PMA) - is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of inherited disorders of the peripheral nervous system characterised by progressive loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation across various parts of the body. Currently incurable, this disease is one of the most common inherited neurological disorders affecting approximately 1 in 2,500 people equating to approximately 23,000 people in the United Kingdom and 125,000 people in the USA.

CMT was previously classified as a subtype of muscular dystrophy.

Athena has a DNA test for the most common type. Type 1A. I was tested in Canada so it was not Athena but it was the same DNA test. Another common test for the other types is to perform an EMG. Depending on the person though it can be very painful. It seems to me the worse the CMT is, the more pain there is.

CMT is caused by mutations in genes that produce proteins involved in the structure and function of either the peripheral nerve axon or the myelin sheath. Although different proteins are abnormal in different forms of CMT disease, all of the mutations affect the normal function of the peripheral nerves. The gene mutations in CMT disease are usually inherited.

Charcot's joints, also called neuropathic joint disease

CMT1A is caused by a duplication of the PMP22 gene on chromosome 17. The extra copies of this gene lead to overproduction of the myelin protein, causing the symptoms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A.

Usually the condition doesn't affect people until later but the condition is inherited so a child who has inherited the condition has it whether they are symptomatic or not. I have seen one report of a 10 year old with symptoms and individuals can remain ambulatory for their entire lives or become wheelchair bound in their 20s.

A nerve biopsy (removal of a small piece of the nerve) may be performed to look for changes characteristic of CMT. However, this testing is not diagnostic of CMT and is usually not necessary for making a diagnosis.

CMT decreases the ability of these nerves to carry motor commands to muscles, especially those furthest from the spinal cord located in the feet and hands. As a result, the muscles connected to these nerves eventually weaken

you should not be asking these questions

The neurological symptoms in CMT can progress slowly, but may become problematic over time. Muscle weakness is usually found first in the foot and lower leg muscles. It can eventually include the upper leg and hips in severely affected people.

In the early stages of Charcot's joints, braces to stabilize the joints can help stop or minimize the damage. When the disease has progressed beyond braces, surgery can sometimes repair the joint.

Lou Gehrig's disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), was first described by the French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot in 1869. Lou Gehrig, the famous baseball player, was diagnosed with the disease in 1939, which brought significant attention to it.

Patrice Enard died on June 1, 2008, in Paris, France of Charcot disease.

Jean-Martin Charcot, a French neurologist, discovered Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, commonly called Lou Gehrig's Disease, in 1869.

By definition, yes. Periodontal means "around the tooth." Periodontal disease is disease around the tooth. If there are no teeth, there can be no disease around the teeth.

CMT has been diagnosed in people from all over the world. It occurs in approximately one in 2,500 people, which is about the same incidence as multiple sclerosis. It is the most common type of inherited neurologic condition.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system, causing difficulty breathing and poor nutrient absorption. Huntington's disease is another genetic disorder that leads to progressive brain damage, causing problems with movement, cognition, and behavior.

no its only a decay

a disease

D-Sorbitol modulates ERK kinase activity and so probably is helpful in CMT1a especially together with Curcumin and Acetyl-L-Carnitine which modulate other pathways. Also Betaine might be good.

Mutations in genes including GDAP1, MTMR2, SH3TC2, and myotubularin-related protein 2 (MTMR13) have been linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4 (CMT4). These genes play a role in the structure and function of peripheral nerves, and their mutations can lead to the progressive damage and degeneration of these nerves, resulting in the symptoms of CMT4.
