Neutron diffraction experiment with the Y116S variant of transthyretin using iBIX at J-PARC: application of a new integration method.

Abstract excerpt

Transthyretin (TTR) is one of more than 30 amyloidogenic proteins, and the amyloid fibrils found in patients afflicted with ATTR amyloidosis are composed of this protein. Wild-type TTR amyloids accumulate in the heart in senile systemic amyloidosis (SSA). ATTR amyloidosis occurs at a much younger age than SSA, and the affected individuals carry a TTR mutant. The naturally occurring amyloidogenic Y116S TTR variant...
