Transthyretin-related familial amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) is an autosomal dominant, life-threatening, and treatable disorder caused by TTR mutation. It is characterized by amyloid deposition in the peripheral nerves and major organs, including the heart, kidneys, and eyes. So far, more than 130 TTR mutations have been identified, in which p.Val30Met is the most common in endemic countries. TTR-FAP has been reported in 29 countries, including many countries in Europe, USA, Japan, China, and India. Clinical and genetic features of TTR-FAP are relatively clear in Europe and Japan, however, it still need to be carried out in China. Here, we reported the clinical and genetic features of 8 Chinese TTR-FAP families.
