Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy Type 2 Charcot-Marie-Tooth
hereditary neuropathy type 2 (CMT2) is an axonal (non-
demyelinating) peripheral neuropathy characterized by distal
muscle weakness and atrophy, mild sensory loss, and normal or
near-normal nerve conduction velocities. CMT2 is clinically
similar to CMT1, although typically less severe. Peripheral
nerves are not enlarged or hypertrophic. The subtypes of CMT2
are similar clinically and distinguished only by molecular
genetic findings.  Available tests  2 tests are in the database
