Abstract excerpt
OBJECT: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a collection of related genetic disorders affecting peripheral nerves with an incidence of one in every 2500 individuals.

Advancements in genetic testing and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques may provide clinicians with a more...
