Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4D
MONDO:0011085Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4D (CMT4D) is a subtype of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4 characterized by a childhood-onset of severe, progressive, demyelinating sensorimotor neuropathy manifesting with distal muscle weakness and atrophy, sensorineural hearing impairment leading to deafness (usually in third decade), severely reduced nerve conduction velocities, and skeletal, especially foot, deformities. Tongue atrophy has also been reported.
Also known as: CMT4D, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4 caused by mutation in NDRG1, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4D, HMSN, Lom type, HMSN-Lom, HMSN4D, HMSNL, NDRG1 Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4

Wearable gadget aims to stop falls in neuropathy patients
Symptom relief Recruiting nowThis study tests a device called Walkasins, worn on the lower legs, that vibrates to give sensory feedback about foot pressure. The goal is to see if using it daily for six months improves balance and walking in 200 adults aged 55+ with peripheral neuropathy. Participants will do…

Bedside test may end guesswork in nerve pain treatment
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study aims to see if a quick bedside sensory test can predict which painkiller—pregabalin, duloxetine, or a placebo—works best for people with nerve pain in their feet. About 190 adults with diabetic, chemotherapy-related, or idiopathic nerve pain will try each treatment for…

New study aims to unravel nerve mysteries in rare diseases
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at how nerves work in people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and other nerve disorders like CIDP. Researchers will use special electrical tests and ultrasound to measure nerve and muscle changes. The goal is to better understand these conditions, not to test a n…

Scientists hunt for hidden genes behind nerve disease severity
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study aims to find new genes that cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and discover why symptoms differ among people with the same genetic change. Researchers will analyze DNA from up to 1,050 participants to identify genetic modifiers and unknown causes. The goal is to b…
