Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (FAP) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by transthyretin (TTR) mutations, of which V30M (TTR c.148G > A, p.Val50Met, "Val30Met") is the most common. Swedish V30M carriers display later age at onset and lower penetrance compared to other populations. METHODS: In the study, 130 Swedish V30M carriers (32 early, 30 late onset and 68 asymptomatic carriers) and...
