Hi,
I know your post is not super recent, and unfortunately, I do not have a lot of
information to offer, but my mother had Charcot Marie Tooth Disease. Her maiden name was
Chance. My grandparents, Jasper and Addie (Williams) were both born in Tennessee and died
in California. They were at lease second cousins if not first. I have gone to a
specialist to be tested. They say that it is not hereditary, but there does not seem to
be much information available. My family lives in Washington state and doctors told my
mother she may very likely be the only person in the state with this disease. There are
four of us kids raning from 29 to 45. My and my sisters do not show any evidence of of
nerve problems. Unfortunatley, my brother, the oldest of us, was diagnosed with MS as an
adult. Hopefully some of this turns out useful.
Best of luck!
