The 366 patients diagnosed with transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) were analyzed regarding their clinical characteristics in the first year after approval of tafamidis 61 mg for ATTR‐CM in Germany. Nearly two‐thirds of the patients were in an advanced disease stage and 64% met the key criteria of the “Transthyretin Amyloidosis ...

Case Report: Systemic Amyloidosis Involving the Heart and Skeletal Muscle
BackgroundAmyloidosis refers to an etiologically heterogeneous group of protein misfolding diseases characterized by extracellular deposition in organs and tissues of amyloid fibers, leading to severe organ dysfunction and death.

Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis
AbstractTransthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is an increasingly recognized cause of heart failure (HF) and mortality worldwide. Advances in non-invasive diagnosis, coupled with the development of effective treatments, have shifted ATTR-CA from a rare and untreatable disease to a relatively prevalent condition that clinicians should consider on a

A phenomap of TTR amyloidosis to aid diagnostic screening
Abstract Cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin (ATTR) remains an underdiagnosed cause of cardiomyopathy. As awareness of the disease grows and referrals for ATTR increase, clinicians are likely to encounter more atypical forms of the condition in clinical practice.

Plasma Transthyretin Levels in Sarcopenic and Non-Sarcopenic Elderly
Introduction. Sarcopenia is a geriatric syndrome marked by an age-related decline in muscle mass, which is affected by protein intake. Transthyretin is a visceral protein used to evaluate nutritional status and acts as a positive regulator of muscle mass.

Abstract Aims Amyloid cardiomyopathy is caused by the deposition of light chain (AL) or transthyretin amyloid (ATTR) fibrils, that leads to a restrictive cardiomyopathy, often resulting in heart failure (HF) with preserved or reduced ejection fraction.

The role of non-coding genetic variants on transthyretin gene transcription in transthyretin amyloidosis [PDF]
The transthyretin-associated amyloidoses are a group of protein-folding disorders caused by deposition of the liver-secreted plasma protein transthyretin (TTR) in various tissues of the body.

This review highlights recent advances in engineering messenger RNA (mRNA)‐lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to cross the ageing blood–brain barrier and target neurodegenerative diseases. It outlines design principles, delivery routes, and translational challenges, charting a roadmap towards clinical application of mRNA‐LNP therapeutics for neurodegenerative ...

Protein mis-folding and human disease
Serum Amyloid P Component (SAP), a putative molecular chaperone, is a homopentamericplasma protein of 25kDa subunits. It binds to the amyloid fibrils ofmisfolded proteins, which cause amyloidosis in humans. SAP not only stabilizesamyloid fibrils but also
