Rare Daily Staff
The CMT Research Foundation, a nonprofit focused solely on delivering treatments and cures for Charcot-Marie-Tooth, said it has partnered with the University of Illinois Chicago to test an experimental therapy, CMT1X, as a treatment for the second most prevalent form of Charcot-Marie Tooth.
Charcot-Marie Tooth (CMT) is one of the most common inherited neurological disorders, affecting about 3 million people across the globe. People with CMT experience loss of sensation and/or numbness in the legs and arms, muscle weakness and wasting, and foot deformities. Because CMT is progressive, patients continue to lose function as they age, creating a greater degree of disability. Currently, there is no cure or any effective treatment for this disorder.
