Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is used as a therapy for TTR amyloidosis. Survival after transplant may be associated with progression of neuropathy due to continued deposition of amyloid derived from wild-type TTR. More than 1,500 patients have had OLT for TTR amyloidosis. Data collected by the Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy World Transplant Register show patients with the Val30Met mutation have a 5-year survival of 80%, in those with other mutations it is only 50-60% [1].

The clinical prevalence of wild-type ATTR cardiomyopathy is unknown, but autopsy studies suggest that up to 22-25% of indi- viduals >80 years old have demonstrable TTR amyloid deposits in cardiac tissue, although in most cases the degree of deposition is mild [1].
