| Marie's ataxia | An obsolete term for a variety of non-Friedreich hereditary ataxias. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Marie's disease | A hypertrophic osteopathy of dogs in which osseous changes of the limbs are associated with intrathoracic lesions such as pulmonary neoplasms; also occurs in horses, cattle, and sheep. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Marie-Strumpell disease | <rheumatology> A polyarthritis involving the spine, which is characterised by progressive, painful stiffening of the joints and ligaments. It almost exclusively affects young men. Interestingly the disease seems to be associated with HLA B27, those with this histocompatability antigen are 300 times more likely to get the disease, 90% of sufferers have HLA B27 (18 Nov 1997) |
| charcot-marie disease | A hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait and characterised by progressive distal wasting and loss of reflexes in the muscles of the legs (occasionally of the arms). Onset is usually in the second to fourth decades. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease | <disease> A slowly progressive genetic disorder which is the most common of the inherited peripheral neuropathies, and encompasses a family of disorders characterised by distal muscle weakness and diminished nerve conduction velocity, due to the destruction of nerves with degeneration of the myelin sheath. Features include muscle atrophy in the feet and the legs, progressing to the hands and arms, often with foot drop and a slapping gait. The predominant variety, designated CMT1, is an autosomal dominant disorder caused, in most cases, by duplication of a very large (1.5 Mb) region on chromosome 17p11.2-12. A related condition, hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP), is associated with a large deletion in the same general region. There is no specific treatment for this disorder.
