Brief Summary:
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.

Polyneuropathy, Amyloid Neuropathic Pain Cardiac Failure Orthostatic Hypotension Gastrointestinal Disorders

Detailed Description:

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.

Group/Cohort
Participants diagnosed with small fiber polyneuropathy
Participants aged between 18 and 85 years, diagnosed with small fiber polyneuropathy of no obvious etiology, without diagnosis of alcoholism and not undergoing chemotherapy for cancer


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Epidemiological analysis of prevalence of the TTR FAP in participants with small fiber polyneuropathy of no obvious etiology. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Dry Blood Spot (DBS) samples will be genetically validated via combination of Next-Generation Sequencing (the mutation will be confirmed by Sanger sequencing) and the Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) of TTR gene


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Establishment of a biomarker in TTR-positive cohort [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Samples carrying a mutation in the TTR gene will be biochemically analyzed via liquid chromatography multiple reaction monitoring MS and compared with a merged control cohort, in order to establish TTR mutation-specific biomarker/s.


Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA
Blood sample applied on the Dry Blood Spot (DBS) Filtercard (Centocard®)
