The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $430,265 Project Grant (CFDA 93.853) to The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine on July 1, 2024. The grant supports research to develop a gene therapy treatment for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 2D (CMT2D), a rare inherited peripheral neuropathy. The key activities include optimizing an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector to deliver specific tRNA genes that can suppress the neuropathy phenotype in CMT2D mouse models...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $352,073 to support research on using an ABCA1 cholesterol transporter agonist to correct pathophysiological myelin formation in hereditary neuropathies. The research aims to advance a novel candidate drug for restoring functional cholesterol access and supporting myelin...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $499,452 to The Ohio State University to support research on the mechanisms and potential therapies for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 2E (CMT2E). The key research objectives are to: 1) Establish the effects of CMT2E mutations on neurofilament (NF) assembly and transport in neurons, 2) Elucidate the mechanism of NF accumulation in CMT2E, and 3) Develop a therapeutic gene therapy strategy to restore normal NF function in a mouse model of CMT2E. This 5-year award, starting on May 15, 2025, leverages the PI's extensive expertise in NF biology along with the complementary capabilities of the research team at The Ohio State University and collaborators. The goal is to advance the understanding of CMT2E pathogenesis and explore a promising therapeutic approach to ultimately benefit patients with this hereditary neuropathy.
