Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Transthyretin (TTR)-related amyloidosis is characterized by autosomal transmission of amyloidogenic mutated TTR. Val30Met is one of the most common amyloidogenic TTR mutations, showing a worldwide distribution with phenotypic heterogeneity among human populations. Multiple founder mutations for Val30Met foci have been hypothesized and the different origins may explain the phenotypic variability. The...
