There is DNA blood testing for CMT. One place is:

It is expensive if you have to do all of the DNA blood testing for the many types. But just because you may not test positive for any types that they now can test for does not mean that you do not have CMT. And as far as family history, there might be no noticeable symptoms at all.

There is a # that you can call at the site. Perhaps they can help you. I am not at all suggesting that you could have CMT.
