Global registry aims to map the full course of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
NCT ID NCT05902351
First seen Sep 17, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are building a global registry to collect patient-reported surveys, genetic test results, and medical records from people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and related inherited neuropathies. The study is open to children and adults with a confirmed or suspected diagnosis. By gathering data on symptoms, diagnosis, and daily impact, the registry aims to help scientists understand the disease and guide future research toward a cure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If the registry succeeds, researchers could gain a clearer picture of how Charcot-Marie-Tooth progresses and how it affects daily life, which may help guide future treatment research.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial, so it cannot prove that any therapy works. The data depend on what participants report, which can be incomplete or inconsistent.

Inclusion Criteria: Patients will be made aware of the study by HNF and others (referenced above) and invited to participate. Once patients have reviewed and signed electronically the informed consent document, it is attached to their file. All affected individuals with CMT/IN are eligible to participate in GRIN with proper informed consent. Children, adolescents and adults with either a confirmed diagnosis or suspected to have CMT/IN are eligible with parent and/or guardian consent. Individuals that have been clinically diagnosed through family history and/or standard clinical testing (e.g. neuro exam, EMG, NCS) and/or genetically tested or suspected to have CMT/IN (note: many mutations have not been identified yet) are eligible. Exclusion Criteria: People that do not have Charcot-Marie-Tooth or other Inherited Neuropathies
