ATTR amyloidosis

Worldwide Hotspots of Hereditary ATTR Amyloidosis (ATTRv)

January 26, 2023

Transthyretin Amyloidosis, or ATTR, is considered a single disease, however the diversity in its clinical presentation is staggering. In this blog, we’ll discuss some of the most common hereditary variants and how the disease manifestation differs around the world in documented hotspots.

CRISPR/Cas9 – ATTR Clinical Trial Update

November 17, 2022

Per the National Institute of Health, “One of the most promising areas of research in recent years has been gene editing, including CRISPR/Cas9, for fixing misspellings in genes to treat or even cure many conditions.” In this piece we provide a clinical trial update for transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis using this technology.

Heart Failure & Amyloidosis

October 27, 2022

Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle doesn’t pump blood as well as it should. Many medical conditions that damage the heart muscle can cause heart failure, such as Coronary artery disease, Heart attack, Obesity, Kidney disease, Diabetes, and Cardiomyopathy. Here we summarize how cardiac amyloidosis is associated with heart failure.

Carpal Tunnel & Amyloidosis – An Update

July 27, 2022

In the amyloidosis community, we are quickly learning that carpal tunnel syndrome can be one of the earliest symptoms/indicators of amyloidosis, sometimes presenting up to a decade before diagnosis. In addition, it is suspected that amyloidosis is not as rare as we once thought. Interestingly, carpal tunnel release surgery is helping to illustrate just that.

ATTR-CM (cardiomyopathy) vs ATTR-PN (peripheral neuropathy)

June 23, 2022

Over the course of the past two months, we spent time discussing two of the most common hallmark symptoms of ATTR amyloidosis: cardiomyopathy and peripheral neuropathy. In this article, we’ll briefly recap both hallmark symptoms as well as bring it all together by discussing the two most common forms of ATTR amyloidosis: ATTR cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) and ATTR peripheral neuropathy (ATTR-PN).
