Scientists hunt for early warning signs of inherited nerve disease
NCT ID NCT07476365
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find early biological markers (biomarkers) for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A), a common inherited nerve disorder. Researchers will analyze blood and nerve samples from 70 people aged 10-30 with CMT1A, along with animal models, to identify signs that predict how the disease will progress. The goal is to enable future clinical trials for treatments that could be given in childhood, before permanent nerve damage occurs.
