A form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4 characterized by a severe, early childhood-onset of demyelinating sensorimotor neuropathy, early-onset glaucoma, focally folded myelin sheaths in the peripheral nerves, severely reduced nerve conduction velocities, and the typical CMT phenotype (i.e. distal muscle weakness and atrophy, sensory loss, absence of deep tendon reflexes, and frequent pes cavus). Severe visual impairment leading to visual loss, usually associated with glaucoma, and vocal cord paresis, has also been reported.
