AB  - BACKGROUND: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common inherited 
      neuropathy. CMT is classified into 2 main subgroups: CMT type 1 (CMT1; 
      demyelinating form) and CMT type 2 (CMT2; axonal form). The objectives of this 
      study were to systematically review and assess the quality of studies reporting 
      the incidence and/or prevalence of CMT worldwide. SUMMARY: A total of 802 studies 
      were initially identified, with only 12 meeting the inclusion criteria. CMT 
      prevalence was reported in 10 studies and ranged from 9.7/100,000 in Serbia to 
      82.3/100,000 in Norway. The frequency of the main subtypes varied from 37.6 to 
      84% for CMT1 and from 12 to 35.9% for CMT2; the country with the lowest 
      prevalence of CMT1 was Norway, and the country with the highest prevalence of 
      CMT1 was Iceland; on the other hand, CMT2 was least prevalent in the United 
      Kingdom and most prevalent in Norway. KEY MESSAGES: This review reveals the gaps 
      that still exist in the epidemiological knowledge of CMT around the world. 
      Published studies are of varying quality and utilise different methodologies, 
      thus precluding a robust conclusion. Additional research focusing on 
      epidemiological features of CMT in different nations and different ethnic groups 
      is needed.
