Transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR‐FAP): Parameters for early diagnosis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Brain and Behavior"
DOI: 10.1002/brb3.889
Abstract: Familial transthyretin amyloidosis is a life‐threatening disease presenting with sensorimotor and autonomic polyneuropathy. Delayed diagnosis has a detrimental effect on treatment and prognosis. To facilitate diagnosis, we analyzed data patterns of patients with transthyretin familial… read more here.
