HNF is Reshaping Drug Repurposing for CMT
HNF has partnered with Rarebase, a public benefit precision medicine company that has screened a large library of FDA approved small molecules to identify candidates for various types of CMT. Their tech-enabled drug discovery platform is called Function™. There are many published discoveries on the genetic cause of many types of CMT, including an understanding of the basic mechanism of disease and potential targets for FDA-approved drug repurposing. It is this understanding that allows HNF and Rarebase to target the genetic root cause of CMT.

The Key Role CMT Patients Play in Research
Without your participation, researchers won’t have the essential patient information to develop drugs, gene therapies, and clinical trials for Charcot-Marie-Tooth and other Inherited Neuropathies. In addition, as GRIN grows, we gain greater insights from you as patients to help accelerate therapies for Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) and Inherited Neuropathies.

I just found this site is there a replay of this webinar. If so will you please email me the link and the upcoming webinars.
Hi Gloria, We do not have a replay of the webinar. We will have future webinars so check back often.
Thanks,

I have HNPP. I found out early last year that there’s a Doctor in Tennessee that has been doing research on HNPP and has linked it to CMT. I still have all his research notes that brought he and his colleagues to this conclusion.
Hi I need to get disability for my CMT and other back issues. How difficult is it to get?
Best advice…go through a disability advocacy organization not an attorney. I tried on my own for over a year then found an advocacy group that specializes in only helping people get approved. Three months and two Dr appointments later I was approved without any stigmas…actually a very validating process. Their fee was 20% of any back payment but nothing going forward. Well worth it! Best wishes!
I hired an attorney that specializes in SSDI, between him and w/the help of my Dr. it took approximately 6 months to be approved and receive my 1st check.
Good Luck.
