Inherited neuropathies known collectively as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease are one of the most common inherited neurological conditions affecting ∼1 in 2500 people. A heterogenous disorder, CMT is divided into subtypes based on the pattern of inheritance and also by neurophysiological studies. Despite the clinical similarities among patients with demyelinating CMT, it is recognized that this group of disorders is both genetically and phenotypically heterogenous. Understanding the pathogenesis of these disorders requires an intimate knowledge of normal myelin development and homeostasis. Improvements in genetic testing techniques over the last 20 years have contributed majorly to the identification of specific genes, proteins, and molecular pathways that are providing the basis for understanding the disease processes and developing rational approaches to therapy.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 January 2016.
All research outputs
#6,443,738
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Neuroscience Letters
#1,862
of 7,756 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#79,802
of 359,728 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Neuroscience Letters
#10
of 107 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,756 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 359,728 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 107 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
