Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT)causes motor and sensory neuropathies of the peripheral nervous system characterized by progressive loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation across various parts of the body. 8. What is the inheritance pattern shown? 9. Provide at least one piece of evidence for your claim. 10. The dashed line represents a possible union. Discuss the probability that such a union would result in a child with CMT.
