Other common features | Gait ataxia/tremor (CMT1a) | Intellectual disability (CMTX2, CMTX4) Deafness and optic neuropathy (CMTX5) | Delayed motor development | Cranial neuropathies (CMT4B1, CMT4D) | |
Conduction velocities on nerve conduction studies¶ | Moderate slowing (>15 to ≤35 m/s) | Normal or slight slowing (>40 m/s) | Mild slowing (>35 to ≤45 m/s) | Severe slowing (≤15 m/s) or absent | Moderate slowing (>15 to ≤35 m/s) |
AD: autosomal dominant; AR: autosomal recessive; CMT: Charcot-Marie-Tooth.
* Includes Dejerine-Sottas syndrome and congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy.
¶ Nerve conduction velocity slowing in patients with neuropathies varies by type and severity of neuropathy as well as physiologic factors such as specific nerve tested, ambient temperature and patient age, height, sex, and body habitus.
