Abstract excerpt
Transthyretin (TTR) gene has a causal role in a hereditary form of amyloidosis (ATTRm) and is potentially involved in the risk of wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt). To understand the genetics of ATTRm and ATTRwt, we conducted a phenome-wide association study of TTR gene in 361,194 participants of European descent testing coding and non-coding variants. Among the 382 clinically relevant phenotypes...
