What is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT)?

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), named for the three doctors who described the condition in the late 1800's, is one of the most common inherited neurological conditions. About one in 2,500 people have CMT. CMT first affects the lower legs and feet leading to weakness, numbness, and sometimes changes in the shape of the foot. As the condition progresses, weakness and numbness can also occur in the hands and forearms. CMT does not affect a person's intelligence and is not associated with a shortened life span.
