ABSTRACT

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a degenerative affection of the peripheral nervous system that presents great genetic and clinic heterogeneity. The presentation with autosomal dominant pattern, well-known in some classifications as type I, is the most frequent; also, the making of the genealogical tree turns out to be the most important instrument to know the inheritance type. To such effects, 2 case reports belonging to a family with 35 members affected by this neurological dysfunction are described, assisted in the Provincial Center of Medical Genetics in Santiago de Cuba.
