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

The Duke Center for Human Genetics, 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.

The Duke Center for Human Genetics 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.
