A Prospective Natural History and Outcome Measure Discovery Study of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease, Type 4J
This is a multicenter, longitudinal, prospective observational natural history study of subjects with a molecularly confirmed diagnosis of CMT4J. The study will enroll 20 subjects of any age into a uniform protocol for follow-up and evaluations. Subject visits will occur every 12 months + 4 weeks for up to 2 years.
• Male or female, all ages
• A molecularly-confirmed diagnosis of CMT4J (confirmed by a CLIA certified, CE-marked, or equivalent lab): Genomic DNA mutation analysis demonstrating 1) bi-allelic pathogenic and/or likely pathogenic variants (by ACMG criteria) in the FIG4 gene, or 2) bi-allelic variants with one pathogenic and/or likely pathogenic variant in trans with a variant of uncertain significance if laboratory evidence and expert consensus exits in support of loss of FIG4 function exists.
• Informed consent from patients 18 years or older who are able to provide consent and from caregivers; parent(s)/guardian(s) providing consent for subjects younger than 18 years at Screening and patients older than 18 years unable to provide informed consent
• Informed assent of patients younger than 18 years at Screening who are able to provide assent
• Able and willing to comply with the study protocol, including travel to Study Center, procedures, measurements and visits
