Cure CMD (Congenital Muscular Dystrophy)
Cure CMD is a non-profit organization focused on finding treatments for congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD). Launched in April 2008, Cure CMD has established the infrastructure to drive clinical trial readiness for the congenital muscular dystrophies and congenital myopathies through the limb girdle spectrum: an international registry (CMDIR), a CMD BioBank, CMD Traveling Local Clinics, published Consensus Care Guidelines and a Genotype/Phenotype study. Ongoing research funding and annual family, medical and scientific conferences ensure momentum.
