Besides Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) many types and subtypes, there is Fredreich's Ataxia and Dejerine-Sottas Disease (recessive form can be called CMT4F). Not certain if there are others.

There are 22 + types of CMT that they now have DNA blood testing for. And there are over 50 types they have identified so far and there is no end in sight.

What kind of genetic neuropathy do you have? What is the name?
