Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type X

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type X is a subtype of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. This condition is linked to genetic defects on the X chromosome. Because it is inherited in an X-linked manner, it can affect the nerves in both the arms and legs. This condition belongs to a group of disorders that impair the peripheral nerves, though the specific impact on nerve function and its progression may vary between individuals. Information about the full range of symptoms and clinical details is currently limited. People with this condition may experience challenges related to nerve function based on the genetic defect involved.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type X is caused by genetic defects on the X chromosome. The X-linked pattern of inheritance means that the gene abnormality is passed down through families, affecting the peripheral nerves. Detailed genetic mechanisms and other risk factors are not provided in the available sources.
