Imagine your child was diagnosed with a disease with No Treatment or Cure.

Precision Medicine is the future of developing disease treatments.

The CMT4B3 Research Foundation has partnered with leading Charcot-Marie-Tooth experts, Dr. Mario Saporta and Dr. Stephan Zuchner. They have successfully identified treatments for other rare forms of CMT, and now they are applying their groundbreaking techniques to CMT4B3.
