[Clinical and genetic heterogeneity in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy associated with variant transthyretin].

Abstract excerpt

Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) is an autosomal disease, usually associated with a variant of transthyretin (TTR). To date, about 30 variants of TTR have been described in FAP. Clinical heterogeneity regarding age of onset and organ involvement exists in TTR-related FAP. The age of onset in patients with TTR-Met 30 variant ranges from the third to the seventh decade.
