Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

An International, multicenter, epidemiological observational study investigating the prevalence of Transthyretin-Related Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) in participants with small fiber polyneuropathy of no obvious etiology.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Transthyretin-related Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) is an autosomal dominant, progressive neurodegenerative disease, with fatal outcome occurring within ten years after onset. Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) associated with mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene is the most common form of genetic amyloidosis. It accounts several thousand cases worldwide, with Val30Met mutation identified in most patients and with endemic foci in Portugal, Sweden and Japan.

TTR FAP is caused by the systemic deposition of amyloidogenic variants of the transthyretin protein ((Ttr) in the extra-cellular space of tissues and result in disruption of organ function.The typical presentation of TTR-FAP is a progressive sensory-motor polyneuropathy, which usually begins with loss of thermal and pain sensation in the feet, slowly ascends up the limbs and is associated with variable autonomic disturbances and extra-neurological manifestations (especially a cardiomyopathy).

The goal of the TRAP2.1 Study is to investigate the prevalence of Transthyretin-Related Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) in a cohort of 500 subjects with small fiber polyneuropathy of no obvious etiology, based on the subject's clinical presentation.
