Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Heterogeneity in the genotype-phenotype correlation of transthyretin (TTR)-related amyloidosis has been reported, suggesting that other factors may interact with disease-causing mutations. Additional genetic variants in the TTR gene and its surrounding regions may influence disease phenotype. To explore this hypothesis, we analyzed the TTR variation among human populations to identify functional...
