It's impossible that CMT1A comes from chromosome X. CMT1A comes from chromosome 17. CMTX comes from chromosome X, but in this case your father should be affected (and quite severely, because a male has only a X). > > Maybe my mom has type II and > > doesn't know it.

Is this unusual? *************************************************** It's very improbable, but not impossible, that a woman with CMT2 marries a man with CMT1A. However, it's probable that you have inherited only 1 mutation, that is that you have only 1 type of CMT (either CMT1A or CMT2). Best regards.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Hi , I'm Jim. I was not diagnosed till 12/02 and just turned 36 as of 2/03. I really never showed any signs of CMT. No hammer toe, small calves, high arches,Ect. I did have problems with my legs though. Restless Leg Syndrome, Numerous knee surgeries to clean off meniscus or fix tares?, leg and foot pain/cramps, and I started falling down in the last five years with greater frequency. It got so bad the guys I worked with would bet on how long it would be before I was on the ground.LOL They thought it was the greatest thing in the world, Of course, I could not get in on the betting action so it was not much fun for me. I was diagnosed after a back injury that brought about greater CMT symptoms. I lost feeling in my feet in spots, fatique, wicked cramps/spasms(the muscles in my legs had little tiny twitches all over) that would not quit. So I was sent to a Neuro. who I told that my father and family had CMT. He sent for a DNA test but tried to say all it was is neurapothy due to Diabetes. The test came back that I had CMT1A. I do not and never had Diabetes. I've never gone back to that Neuro. Anyway, that's my story I hope it helps. You can e-mail or post any other questions if you want more info. Good luck I hope your problem turns out to be something fixable. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
