What is the prevalence of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease?
How many people does Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease affect? Does it have the same prevalence in men and women? And in the different countries?
It is weird to say it this way but it is a commonly rare disorder

CMT is commonly reported as occurring in 1 in 2,500 people, making it the most common type of inherited neuropathy.
Anecdotally, diagnosis rates seem to be substantially below this, perhaps due to those with the disease but who have very mild to negligible symptoms never seeing diagnosis.

I believe it is 1 in 2,500 people.
CMT indiscriminately affects people of both genders and all backgrounds.

It is the most common inherited neurological disorders, affecting approximately 1 in 2,500 people. It is an equal opportunity disorder affecting both men and women. Although born with the disease some people are not diagnosed until adulthood. Symptoms may develop as a toddler or not until later in life.

In the early 1980s I was told one in every 25,000 people had it. Today the numbers are one in every 2,500 people have it. It’s called the most common rare disease. One of the most often misdiagnosed.

IT IS ONE IN 2500 THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. IT IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE "MOST COMMON DISEASE YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF." ONE IN 2500 IS THE UPPER THRESHOLD FOR A DISEASE TO BE CONSIDERED RARE.
