Uncovering the Mechanism of Aggregation of Human Transthyretin. [PDF]

, 2015
The tetrameric thyroxine transport protein transthyretin (TTR) forms amyloid fibrils upon dissociation and monomer unfolding. The aggregation of transthyretin has been reported as the cause of the life-threatening transthyretin amyloidosis.

Prognostic impact of light-chain and transthyretin-related categories in cardiac amyloidosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Hellenic Journal of Cardiology, 2019
Objective: Light-chain amyloidosis and transthyretin-related amyloidosis (wild-type and mutated) are three main types of systemic amyloidosis associated with a clinically relevant cardiac involvement. In this study, we compared prognosis in patients with

Inhibition by small-molecule ligands of formation of amyloid fibrils of an immunoglobulin light chain variable domain. [PDF]

, 2015
Overproduction of immunoglobulin light chains leads to systemic amyloidosis, a lethal disease characterized by the formation of amyloid fibrils in patients' tissues. Excess light chains are in equilibrium between dimers and less stable monomers which can

Utility of Genetic Testing in Patients with Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy: A Brief Review

Biomedicines, 2023
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is an increasingly diagnosed condition. Although wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is the most common ATTR-CM, hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) may also occur.

Vitreous amyloidosis with autonomic neuropathy of the digestive tract associated with a novel transthyretin p.Gly87Arg variant in a Bangladeshi patient: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2017
Background Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder, first described in families with sensorimotor and autonomic neuropathy.

Senile Systemic Amyloidosis: Clinical Features at Presentation and Outcome [PDF]

, 2013
Background Cardiac amyloidosis is a fatal disease whose prognosis and treatment rely on identification of the amyloid type. In our aging population transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is common and must be differentiated from other amyloid types.

Rapid decline in ejection fraction and persistent elevation of troponin associated with cardiac amyloidosis

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2020
Cardiac amyloidosis is an increasingly recognized cause of heart failure. It remains underdiagnosed despite a significant morbidity and mortality rate. The mean survival in patients with cardiac amyloidosis is less than 1 year in untreated primary light ...

Semi-Quantitative Models for Identifying Potent and Selective Transthyretin Amyloidogenesis Inhibitors [PDF]

, 2017
Rate-limiting dissociation of the tetrameric protein transthyretin (TTR), followed by monomer misfolding and misassembly, appears to cause degenerative diseases in humans known as the transthyretin amyloidoses, based on human genetic, biochemical and ...

Transthyretin levels in the vitreous correlate with change in visual acuity after vitrectomy [PDF]

, 2009
Background/aim: Little is known about biochemical markers related to change in visual acuity after vitrectomy. The potential use of transthyretin (TTR), a carrier of the retinol/retinol-binding protein, as a biochemical marker protein, was investigated ...

Early Progression of Aortic Stenosis Associated With Iatrogenic Variant Transthyretin Amyloidosis After Domino Liver Transplantation

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
We report a 65-year-old man who underwent aortic valve replacement because of severe aortic stenosis associated with de novo iatrogenic variant transthyretin amyloidosis derived from a liver graft extracted from a patient with hereditary transthyretin ...
