The impact of V30A mutation on transthyretin protein structural stability and cytotoxicity against neuroblastoma cells.

Abstract excerpt

Single point mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene may cause a hereditary neurodegenerative disease termed familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) due to accelerated deposition of amyloid fibrils, resulting in peripheral and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Recently, we found a Chinese FAP family involving a TTR V30A mutation. To understand the pathogenic mechanisms of this V30A TTR, we investigated...
