how many types of cmt are there? which is the more "severe" type and which ones are the less severe types? I have cmt and have had it my entire life, but I am not sure which type I have.
7 major types each has subtypes. The only true way to know is a chromosome test. Mine is 1A and had a neurologist order the test.
Ancestry DNA will not look for it.
I have not tried 23andMe
Everyone has different symptoms there two major types either the cover over your nerve is damaged or the nerve it's self is damaged the second is rare 1 in 100000 compared to 1 in 3000
