MedGen UID:
1842973
•Concept ID:
C5680194
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: AR-CMT2; Autosomal recessive axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2

Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).
