Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a genetically diverse hereditary disorder that affects the motor and sensory nerves, impacting about 1 in 2500 people.

CMT2, one of the primary subtypes, is characterized by axonal degeneration and commonly presents with muscle weakness, atrophy, foot deformities, and...
