Genetic
disease Charcot-Tooth, a here ditary disease. Toxic substances = alcohol,heavy metals, and certain drugssuch as vincristine,phenytoin,hydralazine,etc.
Connective tissue disorder:
Reumatoid arthritis (among one type of arthritis), SLE (Lupus Erithematosus System), Polyar teritis nodosa (collagen diseasein which the walls of arteries in various partsin flamed, can cause asthma, high blood pressureor kidney failure).
Deficient vitamins: A, B2, B6, B12, E and folic acid.
