CMT symptoms vary greatly even within the same family. This is so true.

Symptoms of CMT can become evident when you are young, old, or in-between. Or they might not be that evident but you can still pass it on. It is a complicated syndrome with so very many types of it identified now. I have one of the most common types - CMT1A. Even today CMT is misdiagnosed as something else. A good neurologist who knows CMT is the one to see.

Thanks for asking.
