Central Nervous System Manifestations Associated with Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis: a Narrative Review.

Abstract excerpt

Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) is a rare, autosomal dominant, inherited disease caused by variants in the gene encoding the transthyretin (TTR) protein. These variants lead to TTR tetramer destabilization, resulting in the formation and progressive deposition of insoluble amyloid fibrils in various tissues, including those of the central nervous system (CNS).
