CMT References and abstracts for the last thirty years

The US National Institute of Health (NIH) started a catalog of medical journal articles in 1966. The catalog contains citations, and often abstracts, of medical journal articles from thousands of medical journals published around the world. MEDLINE is the result of this effort. The MEDLINE citations can be found on the Internet. Between 1965 and 1996, there have been over 900 articles, published in over 300 different medical journals, that discuss CMT. In June 1997, there are over 1,000 articles discussing CMT.
