CMT Clinic at the University of Michigan

The Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) Clinic at the University of Michigan is a new adult and pediatric multidisciplinary clinic. CMT is named for the three physicians who first described it. CMT is an inherited disorder of the peripheral nerves, caused by changes, or mutations, in a person’s genetic material (DNA), that code for proteins in the nerve fibers.  Patients may experience sensory symptoms, muscle weakness and balance difficulties.
