Cure Research discussion for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disorder:

The same proteins involved in the Type 1A and Type 1B CMT are also involved in a disease called Dejerine -- Sottas Syndrome (DSS), in which similar clinical symptoms are presented, but they are more severe. Research into understanding the pathogenesis of CMT, through the use of animal models for the disease, should also give insight into DSS and may lead to therapies for both diseases.
