A form of axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy, with onset in the first to 6th decade with a gait anomaly and a leg weakness that reaches the arms secondarily. Tendon reflexes are reduced or absent and, after years, all patients have a pes cavus. Other signs may be present, including hearing loss and postural tremor.
