My hATTR Amyloidosis Story: A Diagnosis Leads to Advocacy
Jean Williams, 65, has been seeing the same primary care physician for years. Perhaps this familiarity afforded her the ease with which to openly discuss her care.
A veteran traveler, Jean had experienced symptoms of hereditary ATTR (hATTR) amyloidosis, a rare disease characterized by the buildup of misfolded transthyretin proteins (known as amyloid deposits) in the body, for a long time. The symptoms of hATTR amyloidosis can vary widely and affect several parts of the body, including the peripheral nervous system, cardiac system and autonomic nervous system.
