Talk:Familial amyloid polyneuropathy

Familial amyloid neuropathy

Is 'familial amyloid polyneuropathy' the same disease as 'familial amyloid neuropathy'? If yes, the articles should be merged. If no, some distinction should be made in the articles, at least with a hatnote. --Eleassar ^{my talk} 10:03, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Senile systemic amyloidosis?

The lead section says that "FAP is distinct from senile systemic amyloidosis", yet Senile systemic amyloidosis redirects to this article. Why not separate articles about the two, particularly since (despite the redirect) there is nothing in this article, other than the the lead-section sentence, where senile systemic amyloidosis is mentioned? -- John Broughton (♫♫) 18:39, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Sort of a discussion

Well, the drug tafamidis was just approved by the FDA for treatment of ATTR cardiomyopathy, in May. Jytdog has been banned from Wikipedia.

And this article still has no informaton about the NEJM study, because you wouldn't let me add it last September. Happy with yourselves? I'm just checking in to see. SBHarris 04:51, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
