Resumo

Background Transthyretin Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (TTRFAP) is a rare, progressive, debilitating and life-threatening neurodegenerative disease. The purpose of this study was to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) impairment of TTR-FAP disease versus Portuguese general population and to identify individual patient characteristics such as disease stage – that affects their HRQoL. Literature on TTR-FAP patients HRQoL is scarce at worldwide level and no evidence for Portugal has been published.
