Work with Patient Registries
The neuromuscular patient registries are a long-established asset of the John Walton Muscular Dystrophy Research Centre (JWMDRC). These longitudinal research databases collect demographic, genetic, clinical, and quality of life data on rare and ultra-rare neuromuscular diseases and use it to provide deidentified data reports or study recruitment support to third parties such as pharmaceutical companies and research groups. The registries support the aims of the JWMDRC by providing valuable data, assisting with patient engagement and recruitment, acting as an interface between patients and the healthcare, scientific and research communities, and ultimately facilitating translational research.
The seven patient registries coordinated from the JWMDRC currently hold data from a combined total of over 4,300 patients in the following disease areas:
National Registries:
International Registries:
