Is CIAP a solitary disorder?
Study on Chronic Axonal Polyneuropathy
Assessing whether CIAP is a solitary disorder of peripheral nerves or part of a more generalized disease involving also other organs and multimorbidity.

Genome Wide association study in patients with GBS
Study on GBS
In this study, we aim to investigate whether genetics (single nucleotide polymorphisms) could play a role in a patient’s susceptibility to develop GBS. This study is performed using clinical data and blood samples from patients included in the International GBS Outcome Study (IGOS) and several previous Dutch treatment trials.

CIDP Mimics study
Study on CIDP
Background:Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a disease of the peripheral nerves. These nerves provide the connection between the brain, the muscles and skin. We do not know exactly how CIDP arises. The idea is that an immune reaction against the nerves arises due to an unknown cause. This causes gradual loss of strength, loss […]

Diseases

Within the spectrum of neuromuscular diseases, we focus on the diseases below.

CIDP

Chronic inflammatory demeyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare immune-mediated disorder that can cause severe limitations of patients’ daily life.

C(I)AP

Chronic (Idiopatic) Axonal Polyneuropathy is the most common disorder of the peripheral nervous system. It is a slowly progressive disease with a prevalence of 4% in the Netherlands.

GBS

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare disorder of the nerves, symptoms of muscle weakness and sensory disturbances may occur within a few days to weeks.

Pompe Disease

Pompe disease is a rare progressive muscle disease in which the symptoms increase over time.
