DOI: 10.1007/s00018-017-2533-x
Abstract: Transthyretin (TTR) is an extracellular protein able to deposit into well-defined protein aggregates called amyloid, in pathological conditions known as senile systemic amyloidosis, familial amyloid polyneuropathy, familial amyloid cardiomyopathy and leptomeningeal amyloidosis. At least three… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00018-019-03357-1
Abstract: Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a progressive life-threatening disease characterized by the deposition of transthyretin (TTR) amyloid fibrils. Several pathogenic variants have been shown to destabilize TTR tetramers, leading to aggregation of misfolded TTR fibrils. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00415-022-10978-3
Abstract: Hereditary amyloidosis with autosomal-dominant mutations in the transthyretin-gene (TTR) represents a severe multisystem disorder. Treatment options are now available for TTR familial amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP): patisiran [1], inotersen [2], tafamidis [3] and orthotopic liver transplantation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11239-019-01858-1
Abstract: We explored associations between INR measures and clinical outcomes in patients with AF using warfarin, and whether INR history predicted future INR measurements. We included patients in ARISTOTLE who were randomized to and received warfarin.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cardfail.2018.07.326
Abstract: Introduction Familial transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis is a rare disorder characterized primarily by progressive neuropathy and cardiomyopathy. The source of amyloid protein is the liver, thus early liver transplantation can significantly slow disease progression. Unfortunately, for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2016.06.004
Abstract: The assay of plasma transthyretin (TTR), also known as prealbumin, is a key step in the assessment of nutritional status. However, it remains unclear whether it really is a useful nutrition marker, and when and… read more here.
