Hereditary Amyloid Neuropathy Research Study by Ambry Genetics Laboratories

The HAPPIN Study is research for Hereditary Amyloid Polyneuropathy Prevalence in Idiopathic Neuropathy.

Neuropathy is a common neurologic disorder whereby patients experience numbness, tingling, weakness, and unexplained pain of the extremities. Common causes include diabetes, chronic disease, cancer, HIV, and other metabolic disorders. Neuropathy leads to significant pain, weakness, and overall functional disability. If it affects the heart or autonomic system, it can also be life-threatening.
