Quantitative neuromuscular MRI: Quantification of biomarkers as fat fraction, magnetization Transfer Ratio, muscular volume, relaxation time T2
Skin biopsy: Performed on the arm or index finger, depending on patient age

Blood test: 10 ml sample
Patient Report Outcomes Measures: pCMT-QoL, EVA, WALK-12, PGI-c, SF-12
Study summary
This is a 2-year follow-up study of a cohort of 35 CMT1A patients and 20 healthy volunteers. The main objective is identifying prognostic markers for CMT1A using multi-omics analysis. The study is recruiting subjects between the ages of 10 and 30.
The most common inherited neuropathy is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A), caused by a duplication of the gene expressing PMP22. CMT1A patients develop symptoms in early childhood with variable progression and there is no established therapy until now. Therapy must start in childhood, before peripheral nerves degenerate. However, we lack easily obtainable biomarkers in early disease stages.
In CMT-MODs, we will identify disease and prognostic biomarkers in young CMT1A patients.
