Overview
Classification
- CMT Type 1 (CMT1): Type 1 affects approximately 80% of CMT patients and is the most common type of CMT. The subtypes share clinical symptoms. Autosomal dominant. Causes demyelination, which can be detected by measuring nerve conduction velocities.
- CMT Type 2 (CMT2): Type 2 affects approximately 20-40% of CMT patients. Type 2 CMT is Autosomal dominant neuropathy with its main effect on the axon. The average nerve conduction velocity is slightly below normal, but generally above 38 m/s
- CMT Type 3 (CMT3): Type 3 affects a very few CMT patients.
- CMT Type 4 (CMT4): Type 4 affects a very few CMT patients.
- CMT X-Linked (CMTX): CMTX affects approximately 10-20% of CMT patients and is X-linked dominant. Approx 10% of X-linked CMT patients have some other form than CMTX.
More details on the types are provided in the table below:
| Type | OMIM | Gene | Locus | Description |
| CMT1A | 118220 | PMP22 | 17p11.2 | The most common form of the disease, 70-80% of Type 1 patients. Average NCV: 15-20 m/s when associated with essential tremor and ataxia, called Roussy-Levy Syndrome |
| CMT1B | 118200 | MPZ | 1q22 | Caused by mutations in the gene producing protein zero (P0). 5-10% of Type 1 patients. Average NCV: <20 m/s |
| CMT1C | LITAF | 16p13.1-p12.3 | Causes severe demyelination, which can be detected by measuring nerve conduction velocities. Autosomal dominant. Usually shows up in infancy. Average NCV: 26-42 m/s. Identical symptoms to CMT-1A. | |
| CMD1D | EGR2 | 10q21.1-q22.1 | Average NCV: 15-20 m/s | |
| CMT2A | 118210 | MFN2 or KIF1B | 1p36 | The cause is likely located on chromosome 1 for the mitofusion 2 protein. Some research has also linked this form of CMT to the protein kinesin 1B. Does not show up on nerve conduction velocity tests, because it is caused by axonopathy. |
| CMT2B | 600882 | RAB7 (RAB7A, RAB7B) | 3q21. | |
| CMT2B1 | LMNA | 1q22 | Autosomal recessive axonal CMT, (laminopathy) | |
| CMT2C | 606071 | 12q23-q24 | May cause vocal cord, diaphragm, and distal weaknesses. | |
| CMT2D | 601472 | GARS | 7p15 | Patients with mutations in the GARS gene tend to have more severe symptoms in the upper extremities (hands), which is atypical for CMT in general. |
