“Our work will explore new models of genetic peripheral neuropathy, which is essential to help us better understand why motor and sensory nerves are selectively impacted by CMT/SORD neuropathy." Dr James Sleigh, (UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology) on the grant he and his colleagues will use to study a mouse model of SORD neuropathy, a condition that affects nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord called peripheral nerves, to test potential gene therapies. https://lnkd.in/gDq4rHtu #peripheralneuropathy #geneticneuropathy #peripheralneuropathyresearch
