Background And Aims: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is difficult to distinguish from mimicking disorders, with misdiagnosis resulting in IVIG overutilization. We evaluate a clinical-electrophysiological model to facilitate CIDP versus mimic neuropathy prediction.
Methods: Using the European Academy of Neurology/Peripheral Nerve Society (EAN/PNS) 2021 CIDP guidelines we derived 26 clinical and 144 nerve conduction variables.

Mutations in the ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1 () gene are linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, a hereditary neurodegenerative condition. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in mitochondrial fission and calcium homeostasis. Recently, GDAP1 has also been implicated in the survival of patients with certain cancers.

Background And Purpose: ITPR3 encodes type 3 inositol-tri-phosphate receptor (IPR3), a protein expressed in Schwann cells, predominantly in the paranodal region, and involved in the regulation of Ca release from the endoplasmic reticulum. Dominant variants in ITPR3 have recently been recognized as a rare cause of intermediate Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT).
Methods: We collected the clinical data of a family with autosomal dominant neuropathy whose proband was diagnosed with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) for many years.

Background And Aims: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is a heterogeneous group of genetic neuropathies and is typically characterized by distal muscle weakness, sensory loss, pes cavus and areflexia. Herein we describe a case of CMT2CC presenting with proximal muscle weakness and equivocal electrophysiological features, that was misdiagnosed as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
Case Report: A 30-year-old woman complained of proximal muscle weakness with difficulty climbing stairs.

Background: The typical cavovarus deformity seen in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) involves plantarflexion of the first ray. The exact apex of the deformity has never been proven, although it is presumed to be within the medial cuneiform. The aim of this study was to utilize weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) to localize and quantify first ray plantarflexion deformity in CMT patients.
