Question: What are the symptoms of X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 ?
Answer: What are the signs and symptoms of X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1? The Human Phenotype Ontology provides the following list of signs and symptoms for X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1. If the information is available, the table below includes how often the symptom is seen in people with this condition. You can use the MedlinePlus Medical Dictionary to look up the definitions for these medical terms. Signs and Symptoms Approximate number of patients (when available) Decreased nerve conduction velocity 90% Muscle weakness 90% Pes cavus 90% Skeletal muscle atrophy 90% Impaired pain sensation 50% Gait disturbance 7.5% Hearing impairment 7.5% Hemiplegia/hemiparesis 7.5% Incoordination 7.5% Kyphosis 7.5% Neurological speech impairment 7.5% Reduced consciousness/confusion 7.5% Scoliosis 7.5% Tremor 7.5% Babinski sign 5% Cerebellar atrophy 5% Dysmetria 5% Lower limb hyperreflexia 5% Nystagmus 5% Sensorineural hearing impairment 5% Achilles tendon contracture - Axonal degeneration - Decreased motor nerve conduction velocity - Decreased number of peripheral myelinated nerve fibers - Difficulty walking - Distal amyotrophy - Distal muscle weakness - Distal sensory impairment - Dysarthria - Dysphagia - Hyporeflexia - Incomplete penetrance - Motor aphasia - Motor delay - Onion bulb formation - Paraparesis - Sensory neuropathy - Slow progression - Toe walking - X-linked dominant inheritance - X-linked recessive inheritance - The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) has collected information on how often a sign or symptom occurs in a condition. Much of this information comes from Orphanet, a European rare disease database. The frequency of a sign or symptom is usually listed as a rough estimate of the percentage of patients who have that feature. The frequency may also be listed as a fraction. The first number of the fraction is how many people had the symptom, and the second number is the total number of people who were examined in one study. For example, a frequency of 25/25 means that in a study of 25 people all patients were found to have that symptom. Because these frequencies are based on a specific study, the fractions may be different if another group of patients are examined. Sometimes, no information on frequency is available. In these cases, the sign or symptom may be rare or common.
