The patient received genetic counselling and preimplantation genetic diagnosis, as she intended to have children. In July 2015, she attended a consultation at our department due to intense low back pain radiating to both lower limbs, together with burning and tingling sensations, allodynia, and oedema in the feet. A month earlier, she experienced alternating diarrhoea and constipation and marked abdominal distension. The patient reported instability and dizziness upon walking. She had no other associated symptoms, and presented no signs or symptoms of orthostatic hypotension. She was receiving treatment with venlafaxine, alprazolam, and mirtazapine due to reactive anxiety in response to the presymptomatic diagnosis of the disease. The neurological examination found normal touch, pain, and vibration sensation; deep tendon reflexes; and muscular balance. The echocardiogram revealed left atrial enlargement, with no additional alterations. A Holter ECG study detected infrequent ventricular extrasystoles. A bone scan revealed no abnormalities. Suspecting initial TTR-FAP symptom manifestation, we started treatment with tafamidis, plus duloxetine for pain control. As duloxetine was unsuccessful, we later prescribed eslicarbazepine; this was also ineffective, and substituted with tapentadol and diazepam. In February 2016, the patient displayed thermal hypoaesthesia in the feet and distal third of the legs; no other abnormalities were found. Given the persistence of intense, refractory neuropathic pain, a liver transplant was ordered in February 2016; the operation was performed 2 weeks ago.</p></span><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0090">Patient 4</span><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The patient was a 64-year-old former smoker from Gipuzkoa, with no relevant personal history. He attended the neurology department in March 2005 due to cramps and allodynia in the soles of the feet and difficulty climbing stairs, which had started 3 years earlier. His younger brother and deceased sister had both experienced similar symptoms and been diagnosed with TTR-FAP. Both siblings underwent liver transplantation. The neurological examination was normal except for reduced touch and vibration sensation in a “stocking” distribution, absent Achilles reflex, and patellar tendon hyporeflexia. A complete blood count detected no abnormalities. A neurophysiological study revealed axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy. A genetic study identified the Val50Met mutation in heterozygosis. Holter ECG monitoring showed frequent supraventricular extrasystoles with multiple salvos of supraventricular tachycardia. No alterations were detected in the tilt-table test. We attempted to control neuropathic pain with pregabalin and amitriptyline. Symptoms continued to progress, with the patient developing motor deficits in the lower limbs, affecting gait. Despite a liver transplant performed in 2007, neuropathic pain continued to increase in intensity; duloxetine was added to the patient's treatment schedule. The patient developed constipation and oedema of the feet. The neurological symptoms remained largely stable, with distal weakness in the hands and feet and neuropathic pain; the patient was able to walk with a cane. Cardiac involvement progressed, and the patient died of heart failure 9 years after diagnosis.</p></span></span><span id="sec0035" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0095">Discussion</span><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The most common manifestation of TTR-FAP, described by Andrade in the Portuguese variant caused by the Val50Met mutation, is a sensorimotor polyneuropathy presenting with autonomic dysfunction, with onset occurring between the ages of 30 and 40 years.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2–8,10</span></a> The condition initially affects the small myelinated (Aδ) and non-myelinated fibres responsible for transmitting pain and temperature signals.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2,3,5</span></a> The greater the length of an axon, the greater its exposure to amyloid deposition and the resulting functional alteration.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2,5</span></a> This explains the way the disease progresses, initially involving distal segments and eventually affecting more proximal areas.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2,3,5,7</span></a> The natural history of the disease leads to death at 10-15 years after symptom onset.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0155"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7,9,10</span></a></p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The 4 cases presented above demonstrate that TTR-FAP progression does not always follow this pattern.
