A type of rare X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease characterized by slowly progressive, principally axonal, peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy. Patients present with distal muscle weakness and atrophy of the lower extremities, as well as distal, panmodal sensory abnormalities, bilateral foot deformities (pes cavus and clawed toes), absent ankle reflexes, gait abnormalities (steppage gait, decreased hand grip strength and dexterity with variable severity. Males are typically more severely affected than carrier females (some reported to remain asymptomatic) and usually present with an earlier age of onset (within the first 13 years of life).
