INC: Pediatric Study of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease

About this study

This long-term research study will help scientists learn more about Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). CMT is a hereditary disorder that affects the nerves.

This study takes place in many locations, and some of those treat adults. St. Jude focuses on children and young adults. If you enroll in the INC study, you will visit St. Jude once a year for physical exams and to answer questions. Scientists will measure changes in your strength, sensation, and how well the nerves going to the hands and feet conduct a signal over many years. You may also donate blood or skin samples for research testing if you choose.

St. Jude also invites family members who are not affected with CMT but are at the clinic to take part in certain aspects of this study.
