Abstract [en]
Background: In hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv), early manifestation and age at onset (AO) may vary strikingly. We assessed the disease’risk (penetrance), AO and initial features in ATTRv families to gain insights on the early disease presentation. Methods: Genealogical information, AO and first disease manifestations were collected in ATTRv families, from Sweden, Italy (Sicily), Spain (Mallorca), France, Turkey, Brazil. Penetrance was computed using a non-parametric survival method. Results: We analysed 258 TTRV30M kindreds and 84 carrying six other variants (TTRT49A, F64L, S77Y, S77F, E89Q, I107V). In ATTRV30M families, the earliest disease risk was found at age 20 years in the Portuguese and Mallorcan families and at age 30-35 years, in the French and Swedish groups. The risks were higher in men and in carriers of maternal descent. In families carrying TTR-nonV30M variants, the earliest disease risk ranged from 30 y-o in TTRT49A to 55 y-o in TTRI107V families. Peripheral neuropathy symptoms were the most frequent initial manifestations. Among patients carrying TTRnonV30M variants, about 25% had an initial cardiac phenotype, one third a mixed phenotype. Conclusion: Our work provided solid data on the risks and early features of ATTRv in a spectrum of families to enhance an early diagnosis and treatment.
