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.
