Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Destabilized transthyretin (TTR) can result in the progressive, fatal disease transthyretin-mediated (ATTR) amyloidosis. A stabilizing TTR mutation, T119M, is the basis for a therapeutic strategy to reduce destabilized TTR. Recently, T119M was associated with extended lifespan and lower risk of cerebrovascular disease in a Danish cohort. We aimed to determine whether this finding could be rep...
