Determinants of transthyretin levels and their association with adverse clinical outcomes among UK Biobank participants

Nature Communications
Transthyretin is a transport protein whose misfolding has been implicated in the development of cardiac amyloidosis. Here, we examine the clinical correlates of transthyretin levels, the differences in transthyretin levels according to the pathogenic ...

The transthyretin cDNA sequence is normal in transthyretin‐derived senile systemic amyloidosis [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1991
A variety of mutations leading to amino acid substitutions have been described in the transthyretin gene in association with different familial amyloidoses and have been implicated to be involved in the pathogenesis of amyloid deposits. However, there has been disagreement whether or not a transthyretin mutation is present in the most common form of ...

Diagnosis of Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

Cardiology and Therapy, 2020
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) continues to be an easily overlooked, life-threatening, yet treatable cause of heart failure. Furthermore, its elusive diagnosis leads to late or misdiagnosis. As therapeutic advancements such as tafamidis usher in a promising new era in the management of ATTR-CM, the need for disease awareness and ...

BRD4 Signaling Maintains the Differentiated State of β Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The comprehensive exploration revealed the critical role of BRD4 in β cells. BRD4 plays a fundamental role in maintaining β cell differentiation because both long‐term and acute BRD4 deficiency result in a reduction in insulin secretion and downregulation of differentiation markers.

Skin Biopsy as a Diagnostic Tool for ATTRv Amyloid Neuropathy in the UK [PDF]

J Peripher Nerv Syst
ABSTRACT Objective Gene silencing therapy for ATTRv has revolutionised treatment. In minimally symptomatic, early neuropathic disease, skin biopsy can aid in the diagnosis of ATTRv‐PN, assessing both amyloid deposition and IENFD. Our aim was to study the value of performing skin biopsies in the diagnosis of ATTRv‐PN in UK patients and to assess the ...

Proteomic analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]

, 2007
So far, only the detection of 14-3-3 proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been accepted as diagnostic criterion for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). However, this assay cannot be used for screening because of the high rate of false-positive results,
