The prevalence and distribution of the amyloidogenic transthyretin (TTR) V122I allele in Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, 2023
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]

open access: yes, 2015
BackgroundN-terminal domains of BVU_4064 and BF1687 proteins from Bacteroides vulgatus and Bacteroides fragilis respectively are members of the Pfam family PF12985 (DUF3869).

Clinical characteristics, outcome, and therapeutic effect of tafamidis in wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, 2023
Tafamidis improves prognosis in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM). However, real‐world data on the therapeutic effect of tafamidis are lacking.

Aggregated transthyretin is specifically packaged into placental nano-vesicles in preeclampsia

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
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.

Serum neurofilament light chain: a promising early diagnostic biomarker for hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis?

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neurology, 2023
Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) is a life‐threatening disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding transthyretin (TTR). The recent therapeutic advances have underlined the importance of easily accessible, objective biomarkers of both ...
