Finding new markers for early CMT1A disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks for new markers of early Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1A (CMT1A) disease using blood tests and special MRI scans. It aims to help understand how the disease progresses and may lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 30 years old.
- You have a confirmed genetic diagnosis of CMT1A, or a close relative has a genetic diagnosis.
- You can walk, with or without a walking aid.
- You do not have any other nerve or muscle disease.
- You do not have any condition that would make an MRI unsafe (like metal implants or severe claustrophobia).

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.
This study examines how autonomic nerves (the nerves that control automatic body functions like heart rate and blood pressure) are affected in people with CMT (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease), a genetic nerve disorder. Understanding this may help improve treatment and quality of life for CMT patients.
This study examines tremor (involuntary shaking) in people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a genetic nerve condition that affects the legs and feet. Researchers will compare people with CMT who have tremor to healthy volunteers to better understand this symptom.
This study looks at how nerves work and their structure in people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, CIDP, or anti-MAG neuropathy. It may help doctors better understand these conditions.
This trial looks for new markers of Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1A (CMT1A) early in the disease. Researchers hope to find signs that can help diagnose and track the disease better, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
This study looks at DNA changes in families with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT), especially a known gene duplication called PMP22. It aims to understand what other genetic factors may change how CMT shows up, which could help future diagnosis and care.
