The Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association (CMTA) exists to call attention to the most commonly inherited peripheral neuropathy in the world, Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disorder (CMT). Our goal is to not only educate those with CMT, but also the tens of thousands of people who provide support and care for the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disorder community. Our CMTA's Strategy to Accelerate Research™ (STAR) Initiative is accelerated, groundbreaking research, which is on the verge of providing new and better treatments to patients.
Vote now through Sept. 19th for the CMTA to receive part of a $5M grant from Chase Community Giving.
CMT is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means if one parent has CMT there is a 50/50 chance of each child inheriting the disorder.
Check out special events that will take place during CMT Awareness Month this September.
