Diagnosing CMT in neonates can be challenging due to the variability in symptoms and the overlap with other neuromuscular disorders. Diagnostic methods include:
Genetic Testing: Identifies mutations in genes known to cause CMT. Nerve Conduction Studies: Measure the speed and strength of electrical signals in the nerves. Electromyography (EMG): Assesses the electrical activity of muscles. Clinical Evaluation: Detailed physical examination and family history.
