Improved Access to Genetics Care is Needed to Address Health Inequities in ATTRv Amyloidosis.

The article discusses the importance of improving access to genetic care to address health inequities in ATTRv amyloidosis, a hereditary condition. Genetic testing is crucial for accurate diagnosis, but it is underutilized, especially among minority populations. Barriers such as limited genetic counseling services and state regulations hinder access to care, exacerbating health disparities. Policy shifts, including Medicare reimbursement for genetic counseling and expanded telehealth services, are proposed to enhance access to genetic care and reduce healthcare disparities.
