Epigenomic profiles of African American <i>Transthyretin</i> Val122Ile carriers reveals putatively dysregulated amyloid mechanisms
2020-04-18
Abstract excerpt
The Val122Ile mutation in Transthyretin ( TTR ) gene causes a rare, difficult to diagnose hereditary form of cardiac amyloidosis. This mutation is most common in the United States and mainly present in people of African descent. The carriers have an increased risk of congestive heart failure and several other non-cardiac phenotypes such as carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral edema, and arthroplasty which are top re...
