NCT ID NCT01193088

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 33 times

Summary

This study aims to find new genes that cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and identify genetic factors that influence symptom severity. Researchers will analyze DNA from up to 1,050 participants, including people with CMT and their relatives. The goal is to better understand why some patients have milder symptoms than others, even with the same genetic cause.
