Genetic Disorder Response Blog

I read ILuvShockey's blog on Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease. The blog was very interesting and I learned a lot from it. As it states in the blog, people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease have weakened lower leg muscles, and disabilities of the hands and feet. This disease also affects motor and sensory nerves. Because of this, people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease have serious trouble doing everyday tasks such as getting dressed or brushing their teeth. There is no known cure at the present time but I hope they find one. However, there are treatments that can help people with this disease. It is extremely sad that some people have to go through so much trouble just to live their everyday life.
