Screening for Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (hATTR IN CIDP)

The purpose of this research study is to determine if some people diagnosed with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) may have another genetic disease that can cause nerve damage, called hereditary TTR amyloidosis (hATTR). hATTR is treated very differently than CIDP, so understanding if hATTR is sometimes incorrectly diagnosed as CIDP is important.
