Skin biopsy and quantitative sensory assessment in an Italian cohort of ATTRv patients with polyneuropathy and asymptomatic carriers: possible evidence of early non-length dependent denervation.
Abstract
Study of intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) by skin biopsy represents a promising tool in the evaluation of patients with ATTRv polyneuropathy (ATTRv-PN). Herein, we retrospectively analyze intraepidermal innervation and quantitative sensory test (QST) data from an Italian cohort of Italian ATTRv-PN patients and asymptomatic carriers aimed to provide insights into early nerve pathological and functional changes in this disease.
