DISCOVERY OF A NEW hATTR GENETIC VARIANT: A CASE REPORT OF A PATIENT WITH CARDIAC UPTAKE AT 99-MTC-DIPHOSPHONATES SCINTIGRAPHY AND ABNORMAL MONOCLONAL PROTEINS TESTS
Anno:
2023
INTRODUCTION Cardiac amyloidosis is an infiltrative disease that remains an under-diagnosticated cause of heart failure. Diagnostic algorithms focus on identifying the two most frequent forms of the disease, light chains amyloidosis (AL) and transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), by the initial use of 99mTc-DPD scintigraphy coupled to assessment of monoclonal proteins….
PLASMA TRANSTHYRETIN FORMS IN PATIENTS WITH WILD-TYPE TRANSTHYRETIN CARDIAC AMYLOIDOSIS: INFLUENCED OF TAFAMIDIS TREATMENT
Anno:
2023
Introduction. Transthyretin (TTR) is a plasma protein that transports thyroxin and retinol complexed to retinol-binding protein (RBP). TTR misfolding and aggregation can lead to the extracellular deposition of amyloid in the myocardium, causing TTR cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA). Aim of this study is to develop a native electrophoretic method to…
