As stated on WebMD<ref>http://www.webmd.com/brain/charcot-marie-tooth-disease</ref>, '''Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease'''(abreviated'''CMT''')is "''a '''group of disorders''' in which the '''motor and/or sensory peripheral nerves''' are '''affected''', resulting in '''muscle weakness''' and '''atrophy''', as well as '''sensory loss'''. These manifestions occur first in the distal legs and later in the hands. The nerve cells in individuals with this disorder are not able to send electrical signals properly because of abnormalities in the nerve axon or abnormalities in the insulation (myelin) around the axon. Specific gene mutations are responsible for the abnormal function of the peripheral nerves. Charcot Marie Tooth disease can be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked mode of inheritance.''"
