Synonyms: CMT4C

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4C (CMT4C) is a subtype of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 4 characterized by childhood or adolescent-onset of a relatively mild demyelinating sensorimotor neuropathy that contrasts with a severe rapidly progressing early-onset scoliosis and the typical CMT phenotype (i.e. distal muscle weakness and atrophy sensory loss and often foot deformity). A wide spectrum of nerve conduction velocities are observed and cranial nerve involvement and kyphoscoliosis have also been reported.
