ATTRwt was the final diagnosis in 20% of patients undergoing genetic testing. Our findings of TTR variants in 17% of screened patients highlights the need for routine genetic testing in the evaluation of suspected ATTR amyloidosis. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.doi:...
This type of testing can inform prognosis and clinical care for a symptomatic patient or be used to screen unaffected patients (including family members) for increased genetic risk for the condition. Selecting the diagnostic gene product will affect how the test is ordered, including billing ...
Initially described in northern Portugal,1,2 the affection was subsequently reported in two other endemic foci, in Sweden and Japan.3,4 Since then, thanks to the development of genetic testing, patients have been diagnosed outside these areas and in many other countries world- wide.5,6 In ...

Purpose:The cardiac phenotype of hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hTTR) usually presents as a restrictive or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and, although rarely observed as dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), TTR is routinely included in DCM genetic testing panels. However, the prevalence and phenotypes of ...
due to advances in cardiovascular imaging techniques and genetic testing, previously undiagnosed and uncommon conditions, such as cardiac amyloidosis, are being increasingly identified. There are now several medications available for management of TTR amyloidosis that limit further amyloid deposition, thus, ...
