Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis overview [PDF]
AbstractHereditary amyloidogenic transthyretin (ATTRv) amyloidosis is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited disorder caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene. The pathogenetic model of ATTRv amyloidosis indicates that amyloidogenic, usually missense, mutations destabilize the native TTR favouring the dissociation of the tetramer into ...

Deep Phenotyping of F64L Mutation in a Multicentric Cohort of Patisiran-Treated Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis Patients (Patisiranitaly). [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background The F64L variant is among the most frequent TTR mutations in Italy, typically associated with a predominantly neurologic phenotype and limited cardiac involvement. Methods Data from 181 ATTRv patients in the multicenter Patisiranitaly database treated with Patisiran since 2020 were analyzed. Neurologic impairment scores, Norfolk QoL‐

Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis.
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) may be an under recognized cause of heart failure (HF). TTR amyloidosis can be inherited, caused by variants in the TTR gene (ATTRv) or by deposition of wild-type TTR protein (ATTRwt), leading to high mortality if untreated.

INTRODUCTION: Wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt amyloidosis) is a progressive disease resulting from the accumulation of wild-type transthyretin (TTR) amyloid fibrils, and is diagnosed primarily in males.

Tafamidis for the Treatment of Transthyretin Amyloidosis [PDF]
Transthyretin (TTR) related cardiomyopathy is an underdiagnosed cause of heart failure but is increasingly recognized in various settings - from patients admitted with heart failure to symptomatic aortic stenosis - and is rapidly becoming the most frequent form of systemic amyloidosis.

Eplontersen for Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis With Polyneuropathy: An Exploratory Analysis of Treatment Effect in Male and Female Patients. [PDF]
This exploratory analysis of data from the NEURO‐TTRansform trial evaluated sex‐specific responses in patients with ATTRv‐PN who had received eplontersen in NEURO‐TTRansform versus a historical placebo. Eplontersen can lead to substantial decreases in percentage serum TTR levels, arrest neuropathy impairment, and improve patient quality of life ...
