Core Tip	Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most common neuromuscular disorder affecting at least 1 in 2500. CMT according to electrophysiological and pathological findings is categorised into demyelinating, axonal and intermediate forms and inheritance can be autosomal dominant, X-linked, or autosomal recessive. More than 30 causative genes have been identified. This editorial aims to present an efficient account of molecular diagnostic procedures for CMT, based on clinical, pathological and electrophysiological findings as well as summarize the most frequent causative mutations.
