Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) affects the peripheral nerves. These are the nerves outside the main central nervous system (CNS). They control the muscles and relay data from the arms and legs to the brain, allowing a person to sense touch. It is a progressive condition, which means that symptoms get worse over time.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is an inherited nerve defect that causes abnormalities in the nerves that supply your feet, legs, hands, and arms. It affects both your motor and sensory nerves. Motor nerves carry signals from your brain to your muscles, telling them to move.
