Abstract excerpt
Acceleration of amyloid deposition by administration of amyloid fibrils and transmissibility of disease have been reported in several types of amyloidoses. Families with a variant transthyretin (TTR V30M)-associated familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) exhibit genetic anticipation, with TTR V30M-amyloid depositing at an earlier age in successive generations. The molecular bases of anticipation in FAP have...
