Abstract:
...Until recently, there has been no specific treatment for these conditions. However, a detailed search for compounds that stabilize TTR resulted in the discovery of tafamidis. This compound stabilizes TTR and has been found to significantly reduce the progression of both wild-type ATTR amyloidosis and hereditary ATTR amyloidosis.
