Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) is a hereditary neuropathy attributed to mutations in more than 30 different genes. A recent study identified the causative mutation in 67% of 787 screened patients with CMT, and the findings raise important issues concerning genetic testing for CMT.
Charcot–Marie–Tooth 病(CMT)是一种遗传性周围神经病,归因于 30 多种不同基因的突变。最近的一项研究在 787 例 CMT 筛查患者中确定了 67%的致病突变,这些发现提出了有关 CMT 基因检测的重要问题。
