About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The most common forms of hereditary neuropathy are Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and hereditary neuropathy with hypersensitivity to pressure (HNPP) or tomacular neuropathy. A number of patients with one of these pathologies have inflammatory infiltrates in their nerves. Although the pathophysiology has not yet been well understood, the involvement of the immune system has been discussed. Nerve hypertrophy is the main anomaly described in ultrasound in demyelinating hereditary neuropathies and to a lesser extent in axonal forms. Investigators propose to understand if there is a circulating marker of inflammation in patients with CMT or HNPP and find a correlation between the increase in plasma pro-inflammatory cytokines and ultrasound changes.

The group in the trial

  • Identify a circulating marker of inflammation in patients with CMT or HNPPTreatment being tested

    CMT = Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease HNPP = hereditary neuropathy with hypersensitivity to pressure

    Treatment: blood test for pro-inflammatory cytokines and ultrasound of the median nerves
