Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease classifications

Classifications of Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease refers to the types and subtypes of

muscle tissue and touch sensation across various parts of the body. CMT is a result of genetic mutations in a number of genes.^[1]

Clinical categories

Type	Name	Incidence	Notes
CMT1	Demyelinating type	Affects approximately 30% of CMT patients	Causes severe demyelination, thereby impairing nerve conduction velocity .
CMT2	Axonal type	Affects approximately 20–40% of CMT patients	Mainly affects axonopathy, average nerve conduction velocity is usually not affected (sometimes slightly below normal but mostly above 38 m/s ).
CMT3	Dejerine–Sottas disease	Very rare	Severely impaired nerve conduction velocity.
CMT4	Spinal type
CMT5	Pyramidal type
CMT6	With optic atrophy
CMTDI	Dominant intermediate type
CMTRI	Recessive intermediate type
CMTX	X-linked type	Affects approximately 10–20% of CMT patients	This type encompasses all CMT forms that are inherited in an X-linked manner. Average NCV: 25–40 m/s .

It has to be kept in mind that sometimes a particular patient diagnosed with CMT can exhibit a combination of any of the above gene mutations; thus, in these cases precise classification can be arbitrary.
