Portuguese-type amyloidosis (transthyretin amyloidosis, ATTR V30M) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nephrology, 2003
Abstract Portuguese-type amyloidosis (transthyretin amyloidosis, ATTR V30M) is the most common form of systemic hereditary amyloidosis, inherited in autosomal dominant mode. The disease, also called familial amyloid polyneuropathy type I (FAP-I), is caused by a mutant transthyretin (TTR) protein, which is synthesized by the liver.

Therapy of ATTR Cardiac Amyloidosis: Current Indications

open access: yesCurrent Problems in Cardiology, 2023
Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis is a restrictive cardiomyopathy caused by extracellular deposition in the heart of amyloid fibrils derived from plasma transthyretin (ATTR), either in its hereditary (ATTRh) or acquired (ATTRwt) forms. Cardiac amyloidosis has a very poor prognosis if therapy is not started promptly.

Targeted treatments of AL and ATTR amyloidosis

Heart Failure Reviews, 2021
The therapeutic landscape for cardiac amyloidosis is rapidly evolving. In the last decade, our focus has shifted from dealing with the inevitable complications of continued extracellular infiltration of amyloid fibrils to earlier identification of these patients with prompt initiation of targeted therapy to prevent further deposition.

Expert consensus recommendations to improve diagnosis of ATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurology, 2020
Amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (PN) is a progressive, debilitating, systemic disease wherein transthyretin protein misfolds to form amyloid, which is deposited in the endoneurium. ATTR amyloidosis with PN is the most serious

Myelopathy in hereditary ATTR Val30Met amyloidosis patients

Amyloid, 2021
Hereditary transthyretin (ATTRv) amyloidosis is caused by deposition of misfolded transthyretin protein, which aggregates in amyloid fibrils and disrupts several organs [1].
