Cutaneous silent period in ATTRv carriers: a possible early marker of nerve damage?

Keywords: Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis; Cutaneous silent period; Pre-symptomatic; Biomarker EN Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis Cutaneous silent period Pre-symptomatic Biomarker 6979 6982 4 11/16/22 20221201 NES 221201 Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv, I v i for "variant") is an adult-onset, autosomal dominant, multisystemic disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding transthyretin ( I TTR i )[[1]]. Furthermore, CTS may influence CSP[[8]], and we know that CTS may precede by many years the systemic onset of ATTRv[[9]].
