In the intricate landscape of rare diseases, Transthyretin Amyloidosis (ATTR) stands out as a formidable challenge. Specifically, Hereditary ATTR Amyloidosis with Polyneuropathy (HATTR-PN) presents a complex and often debilitating condition that requires innovative solutions. The quest for effective HATTR-PN treatment has led to the emergence of promising therapies like Wainua, offering a beacon of hope for those grappling with this rare disorder. HATTR-PN , a subtype of ATTR, is characterized by the deposition of misfolded transthyretin proteins, leading to the formation of amyloid plaques in peripheral nerves. This build-up can result in progressive polyneuropathy, impacting the quality of life for those affected. The urgency to address the unmet medical needs of HATTR-PN patients has fueled the development of advanced treatments, with Wainua taking center stage. Wainua represents a breakthrough in ATTR-CM (Cardiomyopathy) treatment , demonstrating potential benefits for HATTR-PN as
