Is Charcot-Marie-Tooth a type of Muscular Dystrophy?

No, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is not a type of muscular dystrophy. CMT is a hereditary neuropathy that affects peripheral nerves, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy, primarily in the limbs. In contrast, muscular dystrophies are a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness due to defects in muscle proteins. While both conditions involve muscle issues, they stem from different underlying causes and affect different parts of the nervous system.
