Collection description
The current work is focused on Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR), a rare genetic disease with autosomal dominant inheritance caused by mutations in the gene encoding the transthyretin (TTR) protein, characterized by a progressive and disabling course and, if untreated, a lethal disease. The first aim of my PhD thesis (AIM #1) has been to optimize the diagnosis of hATTR neuropathy through a compound diagnostic score in order to increase the suspicion of hATTR neuropathy and thus shorten the diagnostic delay. The second aim (AIM #2) was to improve the follow-up of hATTR patient by creating a specific evaluation score for hATTR disease, drawn on disease peculiarities, that may be able to assess neurological disability, sensitive in identifying changes in the disease progression and quick and easy to apply in the daily clinical practice.
