As found in a study in Cyprus, we confirmed the role of complement <i>C1Q</i> genes (and thus of inflammation) as modulator of AO in Portuguese patients with TTR-FAPVal30Met.
Demographic and clinical data at the time of enrolment for Brazilian subjects with symptomatic V30M ATTRv-PN were extracted from the ongoing, multinational, longitudinal, observational Transthyretin Amyloidosis Outcomes Survey (THAOS; cut-off date: January 30, 2017).
Our aim was to investigate whether large normal repeat alleles of 10 genes had a possible modifier effect in AO in Portuguese TTR-FAPVal30Met families.
In the Non-Val30Met group no differences were found between DR and FAP patients pre-LT. TTR-amyloidosis symptoms showed no differences in FAP patients pre- and 5 years post-LT, irrespective of Val30Met status.
This longitudinal study aimed at determining predicting variables for middle and long-term psychological disturbance due pre-symptomatic testing (PST) for two late-onset neurological diseases, Huntington disease (HD) and TTR (transthyretin protein) familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) Val30Met (now classified as Val50Met).
This study addresses the objective knowledge about the disease of subjects at risk for 3 genetic late-onset neurological diseases (LOND): familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) TTR V30M, Huntington disease (HD), and Machado-Joseph disease (MJD).
However, research is scarce in examining the roles that older generations play in terms of health promotion and risk management towards younger generations, which is particularly evident with incurable genetically inherited disorders such as familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) ATTR Val30Met.
Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) ATTRV30M is a neurodegenerative disorder due to point mutations in the transthyretin gene, with V30M being the commonest.
FNEs occurred also in V30MFAP patients with longer disease duration, who have undergone liver transplant to remove the source of plasma mutant TTR as a form of treatment.
Our findings indicate that CNS clinical involvement occurs in ATTR-V30M patients regardless of LT. Longer disease duration after LT can provide the necessary time for transthyretin amyloidosis to progress until it becomes clinically relevant.
Cardiac findings and events observed in an open-label clinical trial of tafamidis in patients with non-Val30Met and non-Val122Ile hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis.

Furthermore, SMT readily disappeared in the plasma of V30M - FAP patients after liver transplantation and appeared in plasma of transplanted domino individuals that received a V30M liver.
