Abstract
Using S ST QSTing, a highly quantitated, standardized, referenced, and automated QSTing approach of the body's surface distribution of sensation loss we have shown that: 1) reliable and useful measurement of the body surface distribution of sensation loss is possible; 2) this measure is abnormal in most patients with hATTR-PN and is an indication of polyneuropathy severity; and 3) cutaneous sensation loss involves both large and small sensory fibers in this disease but slightly more small fibers in early onset Val30Met patients.
