Some are inherited and some are acquired.

You could possibly benefit in seeing a neurologist who knows CMT. There are many other tests to rule that in or out. No one not even a doctor can tell you how you will end up. Your family history should be taken into consideration as well. Even then (your father or your mother) do not have to have symptoms that are evident. Sometimes CMT can be caused by a "rare" mutation. CMT can also be misdiagnosed such as having polio, Fredericks Ataxia, and a host of other diseases.

If indeed you did have CMT, and there are MANY types of it, symptoms could be evident when you are young, old or in-between. There is no cure/treatment for any type of CMT at this time. A person has to deal with the symptoms.
