Electrophysiological parameters that contribute to the pathogenesis of familial amyloid polyneuropathy caused by transthyretin mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) is a rare, hereditary peripheral neuropathy commonly caused by mutations in human transthyretin (TTR) gene. Clinically, FAP caused by TTR mutations (TTR-FAP) involves both large and small nerve fibers. Details of early electrophysiological features in TTR-FAP remain unclear. To address this issue, we evaluated nerve excitability (NET) results in motor axons of control mice...
