Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease recessive intermediate C(CMTRIC; RI-CMTC)

MedGen UID:: 815639
•Concept ID:: C3809309
•: Disease or Syndrome

Synonym:	CHARCOT-MARIE-TOOTH NEUROPATHY, RECESSIVE INTERMEDIATE C
Modes of inheritance:	Autosomal recessive inheritance MedGen UID: 141025 •Concept ID: C0441748 • Intellectual Product Source: Orphanet A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele). Autosomal recessive inheritance (Orphanet)

Gene (location): Gene(s) directly associated with this condition or phenotype.	PLEKHG5 (1p36.31)

Definition

CMTRIC is an autosomal recessive peripheral neuropathy characterized by distal sensory impairment predominantly affecting the lower limbs and resulting in walking difficulties due to muscle weakness and atrophy. The upper limbs may also be affected. Electrophysiologic studies and sural nerve biopsy show mixed features of demyelinating and axonal neuropathy. The age at onset and the severity of the disease are variable (summary by Azzedine et al., 2013). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal recessive intermediate CMT, see CMTRIA (608340). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO

Pes cavus

MedGen UID:: 675590
•Concept ID:: C0728829
•: Congenital Abnormality

An increase in height of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot that does not flatten on weight bearing (i.e., a distinctly hollow form of the sole of the foot when it is bearing weight).

Hammertoe

MedGen UID:: 209712
•Concept ID:: C1136179
•: Anatomical Abnormality

Hyperextension of the metatarsal-phalangeal joint with hyperflexion of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint.

Areflexia

MedGen UID:: 115943
•Concept ID:: C0234146
•: Finding

Absence of neurologic reflexes such as the knee-jerk reaction.

See: Feature record | Search on this feature

Steppage gait

MedGen UID:: 98105
•Concept ID:: C0427149
•: Finding

An abnormal gait pattern that arises from weakness of the pretibial and peroneal muscles due to a lower motor neuron lesion. Affected patients have footdrop and are unable to dorsiflex and evert the foot. The leg is lifted high on walking so that the toes clear the ground, and there may be a slapping noise when the foot strikes the ground again.

Distal sensory impairment

MedGen UID:: 335722
•Concept ID:: C1847584
•: Finding

An abnormal reduction in sensation in the distal portions of the extremities.

See: Feature record | Search on this feature

Decreased motor nerve conduction velocity

MedGen UID:: 388130
•Concept ID:: C1858729
•: Finding

A type of decreased nerve conduction velocity that affects the motor neuron.

Decreased number of large peripheral myelinated nerve fibers

MedGen UID:: 395303
•Concept ID:: C1859606
•: Finding

A reduced number of large myelinated nerve fibers.

Somatic sensory dysfunction

MedGen UID:: 1790456
•Concept ID:: C5551413
•: Finding

An abnormality of the primary sensation that is mediated by peripheral nerves (pain, temperature, touch, vibration, joint position). The word hypoesthesia (or hypesthesia) refers to a reduction in cutaneous sensation to a specific type of testing.
