CMT sample collection for stem cell research
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study collects blood, saliva, or skin samples from people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and healthy volunteers. The samples are used to create stem cells (iPSCs) and build a biobank to help researchers understand and treat CMT.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 5 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) OR you are a healthy volunteer (without CMT).
- If you are a healthy adult, you can give consent by signing a form (if you are unable to sign due to a physical limitation, ask the study team).
- If you are a child with CMT and need a skin sample, a parent or guardian must give permission.
- If you are a child (with or without CMT) and are only giving blood or saliva, a parent or guardian must give permission.
- You are not a ward of the state, and you do not have a history of keloid scars, a bleeding disorder, or an allergy to numbing medicine (if giving a skin sample).

This study looks at how Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) or related inherited nerve conditions change over time. It may help researchers better understand what to expect and guide future treatments.
This study follows people who have Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and compares them with people without nerve disease. The goal is to better understand different CMT types and how symptoms and nerve test results change over time.
This study follows people who have Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and compares them with people without it. It aims to better understand CMT, using both clinical symptoms and genetic test results, which may help future care.
This study collects blood, saliva, or skin samples from people with certain neurological conditions and from healthy volunteers to help researchers better understand and find treatments for these diseases.
This study collects blood, tissue, or other samples from people with various conditions—including cancer, infections, autoimmune diseases, or healthy volunteers—to help researchers understand these diseases better. Your samples will be stored and used for future medical research.
This study is looking for people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (a nerve condition) and healthy volunteers to track long-term changes in the body. Researchers want to see if certain biomarkers (measurable signs) can help predict how CMT progresses over time.
