The founders of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease symptom.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease symptom (CMT) was named after the three physicians who identified it:

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease symptom was first discovered in Europe by 3 European Drs.

Jean-Martin-Charcot was a French dr, Pierre Marie was a French dr and Howard Henry Tooth was a dr from the UnitedKingdom. France and the United Kingdom are North western European countries, so the original Charco-Marie-Tooth disease symptom was founded in the North western part of Europe in the late 1800s.

Jean-Martin-Charcot, Pierre Marie and Howard Henry Tooth. Their collective observations and descriptions of the disorder were made in the late 19th century, with the name "Charcot-Marie-Tooth" being established later in the 20th century to honor their contributions to understanding the condition.

CMT is categorized into different types based on genetic mutations and clinical characteristics. Some common types include CMT 1, CMT 2, CMT 3 (also known as Dejerine-Sottas disease), CMT 4, and CMTX (X-linked).
