Abstract
A patient with both Charcot-Marie-Tooth (type la) disease and faciosca pulohumeral muscular dystrophy inherited these from her father and mot her, respectively. Either disease alone does not significantly alter l ife expectancy, but the unusual combination of these two disease proce sses was devastating and resulted in severe generalized weakness and e arly death.
