The literature currently has articles like this, demonstrating drugs or other things triggering CMT symptoms in otherwise asymptomatic patients:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8600343

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11442172

http://www.help4cmt.com/articles/?id...scular-disease

Levaquin unmasking asymptomatic CMT:

While environmental events do not CAUSE the genetic mutation itself, it seems that they can trigger symptoms, in people who don't know they have CMT until the event occurs. Some people live without knowing they have CMT because onset varies so much between patients.
