Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Diagnosis
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) Diagnosis
Our Stanford neuromuscular doctors have decades of experience in diagnosing Charcot-Marie-Tooth. This is one reason the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association designated our Neuromuscular Program a Center of Excellence.
We use a variety of techniques to help us arrive at a diagnosis, including:
- Complete medical history and physical examination, including family history of any neuromuscular disease or neuropathy.
- Electrodiagnostic tests (EMG/NCS): Our neuromuscular neurologists assess muscle and nerve function using a machine that measures electrical signals in individual muscles and nerves. Learn more about electromyography.
- Laboratory tests: Tests may be performed to check the blood and urine for other causes of nerve malfunction.
- Muscle or nerve biopsy: Examination of a small sample of muscle or nerve tissue to look for abnormalities.
- Genetic testing: Examines individual genes to look for abnormalities known to cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
