Any hope of finding a treatment for CMT in the next 20-30 years

[Guest guest]

There sure is hope for treatment of CMT 1A in 3-5 years. Are you not familiar

with STAR?

Because CMT 1A affects 70% of people with CMT, that type is being tested first,

followed by Types X and 2. With high thoroughput screening and partnerning with

pharmaceuticals, we will be seeing much more research soon. Nerve growth factors

and gene silencing are but two other projects ongoing worldwide.
