Advancesin Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT) genetics and associated gene discovery are moving at breakneck speed. Scientists discovered the first CMT-associated gene in 1992. New discoveries have occurred every year since. The number of CMT-associated genes discovered in the last 10 years eclipses the number of genes discovered in the first 20 years. A CMT genetic test result that fails to identify a known CMT cause is far more common than a genetic test that does identify a cause. As new associated genes are discovered, the potential to close the gap increases for CMTers who are unable to obtain a genetic confirmation of their CMT.

With each new discovery representing a new and unique subtype designation, and the overall rate at which new discoveries are occurring, the ability for any one organization or entity to keep up with these changes is severely impaired. This unfortunately leaves everyday CMTers in a vast sea of uncertainty and desperate for answers. At the same time, there is an inherent confusion borne of the everchanging and evolving manner in which new CMT subtype discoveries are named.


The purpose of this guide is to provide a complete up-to-date accounting of CMT subtypes and identified CMT-associated genes, current as of this writing, for everyday CMTers and practicing clinicians to reference. The scope of this guide does not discuss symptom and phenotype descriptions for the many individual CMT subtypes. Rather, this guide represents a comprehensive accounting of the identified subtypes and a comprehensive inclusive listing of all discovered CMT-associated genes, current to this writing. This guide discusses the many non-CMT acronym types and subtypes to clarify for everyday CMTers and for practicing clinicians how each are CMT, as determined by the CMT experts. This guide also discusses the limitations of CMT genetic testing as those limitations relate to everyday CMTers who are yet to obtain a genetic confirmation of their CMT.


Out of the box, WordPress is a pretty well-optimized content management system. A basic setup can provide a strong foundation without extensive customization, theme optimization, and plugins. Beginners can get started pretty quickly with WordPress SEO. That said, you can do a few things with WordPress SEO to increase your chances of ranking, refine your workflow, and make sure your website is perfectly optimized.


Many modern site speed and performance techniques require a valid SSL/HTTPS setup. To take advantage of faster web technologies like HTTP/2 and the upcoming HTTP/3, browsers like Google Chrome and Firefox need the website to have a valid SSL certificate.


If you want to move to SSL and ensure that your site is served correctly over HTTPS, we have a handy guide with tips & tricks for moving to HTTPS. Since version 5.7, WordPress comes with a basic tool to make the detection of and moving to HTTPS easier.


We usually recommend that people use a structure that creates URLs that look like example.com/post-name/, or example.com/category/post-name/, depending on how much importance they anticipate placing on categorizing their content. Choosing either of these options will be perfectly suitable for most WordPress sites.


But how can you determine what keyphrase you want to be found for? To find out, you need to do keyword research. In this process, you should ask yourself questions: what terms do I want to rank for? How realistic is it that I can rank for these terms?


To avoid repetition, you can use synonyms and related keyphrases. Synonyms mean the same or more or less the same as your keyphrase. An example of this is the words film and movie. Search engines will recognize that they have the same meaning, which you can also check by looking at the search results: if you search for movie, film will also be highlighted in the results, and vice versa.


You can also use related keyphrases to optimize a single page for similar, related terms. You can use these to give context to your keyphrase. For example, if your keyphrase is [pumpkin soup], your related keyphrase might be [winter weeknight dinners]. This second, broader term gives additional information about your topic. It can also create coherence by establishing a link to similar pages on your post.


We recommend being careful when changing permalinks for posts you have already published. If people have already linked to your pages, changing the URLs may make a mess. Even though WordPress will sometimes redirect users to the new location (the redirect manager in Yoast SEO Premium handles this automatically and more reliably), changing URLs can impact performance.


Navigate to the Yoast SEO settings, and click on one of the Content Types or Categories and Tags. You can set a so-called Title Template and meta description templates for each post type and taxonomy. For example, for posts on our site, this looks like this:


WordPress transforms the headings you put in your content into their respective HTML tags (, , and so on). That makes it important to consider which type of headings you use and in which order. Getting that wrong can make your content harder to understand.


Automatically generated snippets (whether by plugins or search engines) are rarely as descriptive or as compelling as hand-written ones. We recommend using the meta description field in the Yoast SEO plugin to write a meta description. Make sure it entices the reader to click through and make sure that it contains the focus keyword of your post or page at least once.


Using the proper alt attributes for images and transcripts of videos are also something that we check in the content analysis functionality of our Yoast SEO plugin. We have a longer article on image SEO and one writing alt tags, which can give you more tips to fine-tune your image optimization!


Besides the technical reasons, your articles can get scraped or copied by other parties. So, there are many causes for duplicate content, as you can read in this extensive article on duplicate content.


Another important aspect of international SEO is picking the proper domain structure. Generally, a different ccTLD (e.g., www.yoast.de) for every variation is only a good option for huge companies with big budgets. In most cases, subdirectories (e.g., www.yoast.com/de) are the way to go.


Structured data is kind of like a dictionary for search engines. By describing your content in code, you can instantly clarify that particular piece of content. Plus, you can tell who wrote it, who published it, and when on what site. Also, if this article featured recipe, FAQ, or how-to content, you could let search engines know about this. This way, search engines get a better understanding of your site. They can use this to help your site get rich results.


A solid site structure helps your users and search engines navigate your site. On top of that, it will make clear what pages on your website are most important. Two pillars of a good site structure are organizing your site and internal contextual linking.


Organizing your site will help you create a navigation path from your homepage to your posts and pages. Adding categories and subcategories will bring order to chaos. Ideally, your site should be organized as such:


You should always make sure your homepage is straightforward to navigate. Cluttering the homepage with too many options will make your site more difficult to understand. Adding a clear menu and breadcrumbs helps your user navigate your site wherever they are.


Besides organizing your site, you need to link your content within your copy. We call this contextual internal linking because these links always appear within the context of a text. Internal linking is one of the most important aspects of WordPress SEO.


Contextual internal links set up a network of pages, pointing your users to related content. For example, in a post on keyword research, linking to an article on SEO copywriting makes a lot of sense. For search engines, these links provide insight into how pages are related.


Always ensure that the number of links to a page reflects the importance of that page. Our ultimate guides get a lot of links from individual posts about related topics. This helps users and search engines understand that these guides are crucial pillars of our site.


WordPress has two default ways of structuring your content: categories and tags. Categories add hierarchy to your content and group topics broadly. On a website about cooking, pasta could be a category. Tags are non-hierarchical and can be used to describe your post in more detail. Dinner party themes, for example, could be a tag.


If you want to structure your content differently, WordPress also allows you to create custom taxonomies. Always consider carefully whether your custom taxonomy groups content in a way that makes sense and helps your visitors.


Lastly, our XML sitemaps support has a complete API, allowing developers to add or change functionality through their plugins and themes. Our Local SEO, News SEO, and Video SEO extensions (which generate their specific sitemaps) are built on this API. Other plugins frequently develop their solutions on top of our system.


Page speed optimization is a discipline that spans well beyond WordPress SEO. That means that the most significant opportunities will vary from site to site and from situation to situation. For some sites, the easiest wins might come from changing hosting or utilizing a CDN; for others, it might mean re-assessing their use of plugins or altering how they load CSS and JavaScript.


WordPress is the most-used platform for website management in the world. It powers almost 42% of the web (June 2021). While that is awesome, it also means that WordPress is the most targeted platform for hackers. When running a WordPress website, basic security is dealt with by the CMS, but there are things you can do yourselves to make your website more secure.


The next thing you need to do is ensure that your WordPress install, including plugins and themes, is always up-to-date. Updates might fix security issues as well. Make sure to check for updates and keep your WordPress installation up-to-date regularly.
