Demyelinating forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) result from mutations in a number of genes, the majority of which show an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance [1]. Recessive patterns of inheritance are less common. We report a case of demyelinating CMT resulting from compound heterozygous mutation in the FGD4 gene.
