Disease-Modifying Treatments for Transthyretin Amyloidosis.

The transthyretin (TTR) amyloidoses result from misfolding of the protein leading to fibril formation and aggregation as amyloid deposits in predominantly the cardiovascular and nervous systems. Cardiac involvement can manifest as heart failure, arrhythmias, and valvular disease. Neurologic involvement can cause sensorimotor polyneuropathies, mononeuropathies, and dysautonomia.
