Abstract excerpt

Clinical pictures of familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) vary considerably, perhaps because of the many gene mutations of transthyretin (TTR), but even in patients having the most common mutation of TTR (the substitution of methionine for valine at position 30 (ATTRVal30Met)), the age of onset ranges from the late 20s to the early 60s. Although genetic anticipation has been considered to play a role in...
