Hi, Lordie,

I think we'd need a lot more information about your late father before we could hazard an opinion. For example, did he trip over a lot, have a poor sense of balance, have reduced sensation in his feet as well as his hands, have very high insteps, walk with an unusual gait........ ? And even then it could only be a "maybe" as a neurological examination followed by the definitive tests (genetic testing and measurements of speed/power of nerve signals) would need the presence of the patient in person.

However, if you have reason to think you may have inherited a neurological problem from him, you would be advised to seek an investigation. for yourself (CMT is usually hereditary, with each child of an affected parent having a 50 per cent chance of inheriting it).
