Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is actually a heterogenous group of disorders known to be caused by variants on 40 genes. The most common form of CMT is caused by a duplication on chromosome 17 that results in an extra copy of the gene for Peripheral Myelin Protein 22 or PMP22. This duplication causes demyelination of the nerve axons, and, eventually, muscular atrophy. For more, visit www.charcot-marie-tooth.org.
