Either: There are many forms of CMT disease, including cmt1, cmt2, cmt3, cmt4, and cmtx. Some are autosomal dominant (1 copy of the gene necessary to manifest), some recessive (2 copies necesary), and one x-linked (only on x chrmosome).

Not sure: This is not a tooth issue, this disease is a periphery nerve disorder, placed in the wrong section.

Of the many types & : Subtypes of cmt, the more common are inherited as mutations in one or more genes from either parent in an autosomal dominant pattern (50% chance for each child to inherit it.) some types are autosomal recessive; each child has a 25% chance if both parents are carriers. X-linked types & those from mutations in mitochondrial dna, come from mother. Some people have more than one type.See genedx.Com.
