Mondo Description Autosomal dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B (CMT2B) is a severe form of axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy. CMT2B onset, in the 2nd or 3rd decade, is characterized by ulcerations and infections of feet. Symmetric and distal weakness develops mostly in the legs together with a severe symmetric distal sensory loss, tendon reflexes are only reduced at ankles and foot deformities, including pes cavus or planus and hammer toes, appear in childhood.
Uniprot Description A dominant axonal form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a disorder of the peripheral nervous system, characterized by progressive weakness and atrophy, initially of the peroneal muscles and later of the distal muscles of the arms. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is classified in two main groups on the basis of electrophysiologic properties and histopathology: primary peripheral demyelinating neuropathies (designated CMT1 when they are dominantly inherited) and primary peripheral axonal neuropathies (CMT2). Neuropathies of the CMT2 group are characterized by signs of axonal degeneration in the absence of obvious myelin alterations, normal or slightly reduced nerve conduction velocities, and progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy.
