Our vision of a world without CMT is taking shape!
CMTA-funded researchers have identified promising drug
candidates for CMT1A. One of them has not only stopped
progression of the disease, but also showed improvement of some
symptoms. The promise of symptom alleviation and the
possibility of symptom reversal is real.

We invite you to be a part of the CMTA family and
