Liana, from Brazil, lives with hereditary ATTR (hATTR) amyloidosis. She discusses her family history with the disease, the importance of getting testing and how she helps others living with this rare disease.

Hereditary ATTR (hATTR) amyloidosis is an inherited, progressive disease caused by a genetic mutation that results in the misfolding of transthyretin (TTR) proteins. This results in the formation of amyloid fibrils that could deposit in the nerves, heart, and/or gastrointestinal (GI) tract. hATTR amyloidosis affects approximately 50,000 people worldwide. Many people remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Learn more at https://hattrbridge.com/
