Etiology
Pathology
- progressive axonal polyneuropathy
Genetics
- family history of neuropathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy
- mutation in transthyretin gene (TTR)
Clinical manifestations
- multiorgan involvement common
Laboratory
Diagnostic procedures
- electromyography with nerve conduction study
- diffuse axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy
- periodic cardiac screening with speckle-tracking echocardiography & radionuclide cardiac scintigraphy[4]
Radiology
Management
- tafamidis 20-80 mg QD
- TTR mRNA-guided CRISPR-Cas9 system with durable knockout of TTR in 6 patients with transthyretin amyloidosis after a single dose[5]
- vutrisiran (Amvuttra) a transthyretin-directed small interfering RNA
- 25 mg once every 3 months
