Scientists hunt for hidden genes behind nerve disease severity

NCT ID NCT01193088

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This 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 better understand the disease, not to test a treatment.
