Autosomal Dominant Charcot-marie-tooth Disease Type 2z

Description

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2Z (CMT2Z) is an autosomal dominant peripheral neuropathy characterized by onset, usually in the first decade, of distal lower limb muscle weakness and sensory impairment. The disorder is progressive, and affected individuals tend to develop upper limb and proximal muscle involvement in an asymmetric pattern, resulting in severe disability late in adulthood (summary by Sevilla et al., 2016).For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of axonal CMT, see CMT2A1 (OMIM ).
