CMT is genetic, acquired at conception

[Guest guest]

Hello Jackie,

Twice tonight I have seen the comment that people have had CMT from

some age less than their birthdate. I'm sure that they mean that they

have had symptoms for those years, but it is necessary to remember that

CMT is a genetic disorder and is acquired at the moment of conception.

The reason that I emphasize that point is that if we are to gain the

maximum from advice, diagnosis, remedies (future), and our committments

to our children, we must keep the permanence and pervasiveness of CMT

in perspective.
