Clinical Trial: The Genetics of Chiari Type I Malformation

Study Status: Active, not recruiting
Recruit Status: Active, not recruiting
Study Type: Observational

Official Title: The Genetics of Chiari Type I Malformation (CMI) With or Without Syringomyelia

Brief Summary: Duke University Medical Center is investigating the hereditary basis of Chiari type I malformations with or without syringomyelia (CM1/S). Our research is aimed at learning if CM1/S is indeed caused by factors inherited through the family and, if so, which genes are involved.

Detailed Summary: Duke University Medical Center is actively recruiting families who have TWO OR MORE family members with Chiari Type I Malformations, with or without syringomyelia. These family members must be related to each other by blood, and BOTH must be willing to participate.
Sponsor: Duke University
