Research & Education

Driving Research Forward

At CMTUK, we’re passionate about driving research forward and sharing knowledge that helps people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth live their best lives.  

This page is where you’ll find updates on the latest studies, breakthroughs, and educational resources – all aimed at building a brighter future for everyone affected by CMT. 

The CMT Register – Help Shape the Future

One of the most important ways you can support research is by joining the UK CMT Register. This register helps researchers understand how many people have CMT, what types they have, and how the condition affects daily life. 

By signing up, you’ll be playing a vital role in advancing treatments, improving care, and getting us closer to a cure. It only takes a few minutes to complete the secure online form, and every single registration makes a difference.
