This means that only one mutated gene is needed from a parent to cause the condition Autosomal dominant: Autosomal dominant conditions are traits or disorders that are present when only one copy of the mutation is inherited on a non-sex chromosome.[dovemed.com]

; however, as Roussy Levy syndrome is considered a form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease resembling CMT type 1, the symptoms may be managed in a similar manner. [6] While there is no cure for CMT1, treatment is specific to the signs and symptoms present[rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Entry H01155 Disease Name Roussy-Levy syndrome Description Roussy-Levy syndrome (RLS) is a dominantly inherited early-onset syndrome consisting of gait ataxia, pes cavus, areflexia, eventually associated with muscle atrophy, postural tremors, limb ataxia[genome.jp]

This syndrome, a dominantly transmitted hereditary ataxia with tremor, was first described in 1926 by Gustave Roussy and Gabrielle Lévy.[movementdisorders.org]
The phenotype differs, however, in that it includes static tremor of the upper limbs and gait ataxia.[uniprot.org]
IN 1926, Roussy and Lévy 1 described a familial syndrome characterized by (1) clumsy gait, (2) abnormalities of equilibrium which were evident on standing and more pronounced with eye closure, (3) areflexia, (4) clubfeet, (5) awkwardness and weakness[jamanetwork.com]
