@KeithNFargo @OhioState @nationwidekids I am grateful for partnering with CMTRF and hopeful that together we can make a difference for people with CMT1B.

[Keith N. Fargo, PhD @KeithNFargo]

Congratulations to Afrooz @Rashnonejad of @OhioState and @NationwideKids! This is a very promising project aiming to develop a single gene therapy that has the potential to work for all of nearly all people with CMT1B.
