Complicated question: Charcot marie tooth (cmt) is a group of disorders affecting the peripheral nerves. There are several types and several identified gene abnormalities. At least 34 genes have been identified as being associated with cmt. Some of those genes are on chromosome 19. Cmt is a different disease than adhd, but in any individual, there may be a link. Discuss with a geneticist or child neurologist.
