Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease serves as the summary term for the most frequent forms of inherited peripheral neuropathies that affect motor and sensory nerves. In the last 12 years, 14 genes have been identified that cause different CMT subforms. The genes found initially are predominantly responsible for demyelinating and dysmyelinating neuropathies. Genes affected in axonal and rare forms of CMT have only recently been identified. In this review, we will focus on the currently known genes that are associated with CMT syndromes with regards to their genetics and function.
夏科-马里-图思(CMT)病是最常见的遗传性周围神经病的统称,这些疾病会影响运动和感觉神经。在过去12年中,已鉴定出14个导致不同CMT亚型的基因。最初发现的基因主要与脱髓鞘和髓鞘形成异常性神经病有关。轴索性和罕见形式CMT所涉及的基因直到最近才被鉴定出来。在这篇综述中,我们将聚焦于目前已知的与CMT综合征相关的基因,探讨它们的遗传学和功能。
