A new variant of transthyretin (TTR) was detected by mass spectrometry (MS) in a 63-year-old Japanese female patient suffering from amyloidosis. TTR was analyzed by 2-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization MS. Variant TTR showed extra peaks in addition to normal TTR peaks. The extra peaks were about 44 Da smaller than normal TTR peaks, and the abundance of variant peaks showed...
