IMAGiNE Study
The IMAGiNe Study (Immunoglobulin M(IgM)-Anti-myelin-associated-glycoprotein (MAG) Peripheral Neuropathy Study) aims to create a standardized database and biobank to be used for the research and analysis of Anti-MAG peripheral neuropathy.
Drawing on DNA collected from the biobank and patient database, researchers hope to determine the cause of Anti-MAG PN and treatments for sufferers.
What is Anti-MAG PN?
Anti-MAG PN is a form of PN caused by a rare autoimmune condition. With Anti-MAG PN, a patient’s immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system. As cells are destroyed, they impact sensory and motor functions.
The IMAGiNe study fills a major gap in medical research on “Anti-MAG”, helping propel new treatments for those living with the condition.
Please email for general information about the IMAGiNe study.
Participants must meet all qualifying criteria, including having been diagnosed with anti-MAG peripheral neuropathy, and be able to travel to a participating site for an initial evaluation and follow-up study visits.
