The prevalence and distribution of the amyloidogenic transthyretin (TTR) V122I allele in Africa [PDF]
Transthyretin (TTR) pV142I (rs76992529-A) is one of the 113 variants in the human TTR gene associated with systemic amyloidosis. It results from a G to A transition at a CG dinucleotide in the codon for amino acid 122 of the mature protein (TTR V122I ...

Diagnostic pathways to wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: a multicentre network study
Epidemiology of wild‐type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt‐CA) remains poorly defined. A better characterization of pathways leading to ATTRwt‐CA diagnosis is of key importance, and potentially informative of disease course and prognosis.

Structure and sequence analyses of Bacteroides proteins BVU_4064 and BF1687 reveal presence of two novel predominantly-beta domains, predicted to be involved in lipid and cell surface interactions. [PDF]
BackgroundN-terminal domains of BVU_4064 and BF1687 proteins from Bacteroides vulgatus and Bacteroides fragilis respectively are members of the Pfam family PF12985 (DUF3869).

Hereditary cardiac amyloidosis associated with Pro24Ser transthyretin mutation: a case report
Background Transthyretin amyloidosis is a systemic disorder caused by extracellular deposition of insoluble amyloid fibrils in peripheral and autonomic nerves, heart, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, and other organs.

Aggregated transthyretin is specifically packaged into placental nano-vesicles in preeclampsia
In preeclampsia, the serum levels of transthyretin, a carrier protein for thyroxine, are elevated. Transthyretin isolated from preeclamptic serum is also aggregated and can induce preeclampsia-like symptoms in pregnant IL10−/− mice.
