Hearing and Balance Disorders in Peripheral Neuropathy

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease

In brief

The long term goal of this proposal is to precisely characterize the auditory and vestibular abilities of children with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) and how these abilities evolve during the progression of the disorder. This information will be used to refine the management methods for hearing loss and vestibular disorders in these patients. Given that the phenotypic severity is variable within the CMT patient population, we predict that not all CMT patients will present with auditory and vestibular dysfunction. We will therefore collect specimens (i.e., buccal swabs and saliva) from study participants so that their DNA can be isolated and used to determine the genetic basis for auditory and vestibular dysfunction in peripheral neuropathies.
