Test sensitivity in ATTRv amyloidosis patients. Sensitivity of abdominal fat pad biopsies in different subgroups of patients with a final diagnosis of hereditary transthyretin (ATTRv) amyloidosis within three years from initial biopsy. a Test sensitivity in subgroups as per symptom/findings and sex. Each patient can present with more than one symptom or complication, and most patients presented with a mixed phenotype. No significant differences were found between the subgroups. b Test sensitivity in patients with a pure neuropathic or pure cardiac phenotype. No significant differences were found between the groups. CM: cardiomyopathy; eye: eye complications; GI: gastrointestinal symptoms; PN: polyneuropathy
