The Australasian Congenital Cytomegalovirus (ACMVR) is a confidential research database of information about people with cCMV.
The Australasian Congenital Cytomegalovirus (ACMVR) is a confidential research database of information about people with cCMV. The aim of the register is to be a resource that will help researchers answer important questions about congenital CMV.
Generously supported by:
The establishment of the ACMVR will assist researchers to learn more about this important and little studied virus.
Information collected about each child with cCMV includes their birth details, parent demographics, any associated impairments e.g. hearing impairments and where possible information about the child’s developmental progress at 12 months, 24 months, 36 months and 60 months of age.
If your child is under 18 years of age and has a diagnosis of cCMV and was born in or is now living in New South Wales, Queensland or Victoria then they are eligible to be included in the ACMVR.
The ACMVR was established by study leads Prof Cheryl Jones, The University of Sydney, Prof Asha Bowen, The Kids Research Institute Australia and Dr Hayley Smithers-Sheedy, Cerebral Palsy Alliance, The University of Sydney. Each participating Australian site functions independently and collaborates together to contribute anonymised data to the ACMVR.
