As stated on WebMD<ref>http://www.webmd.com/brain/charcot-marie-tooth-disease</ref>, '''Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease''' (abbreviated '''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]].''"
