BackgroundHereditary transthyretin (ATTR, ATTRm) amyloidosis, which is also called transthyretin-type familial amyloid polyneuropathy (ATTR-FAP), is a life-threatening, autosomal dominant systemic amyloidosis caused by mutant transthyretin (TTR)[Citation 1]. Although the axonal degeneration type of polyneuropathy is one of the primary manifestations of ATTRm amyloidosis, pathophysiological changes in the axons have not been well investigated. A semiautomatic program to elucidate various nerve excitability indices called QTRAC has recently been developed [Citation 2–4]. This study aimed to explore the axonal ionic pathophysiology in ATTRm amyloidosis.
