Genomic Screening for Pathogenic Transthyretin Variants Finds Evidence of Underdiagnosed Amyloid Cardiomyopathy From Health Records
1 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
New treatments for transthyretin amyloidosis improve survival, but diagnosis remains challenging. Pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants in the transthyretin (TTR) gene are one cause of transthyretin amyloidosis, and genomic screening has been proposed to identify at-risk individuals. However, data on disease features and penetrance are lacking to inform the utility of such population-based genomic...
