Association of the transthyretin variant V122I with polyneuropathy among individuals of African ancestry

Abstract Hereditary transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) amyloidosis is an underdiagnosed, progressively debilitating disease caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene. V122I, a common pathogenic TTR mutation, is found in 3–4% of individuals of African ancestry in the United States and has been...

V122I was significantly associated with polyneuropathy in the UK Biobank (odds ratio [OR] = 6.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.6–15.6, p = 4.2 × 10−5), which was replicated in the Penn Medicine Biobank (OR = 1.6, 95% CI 1.2–2.4, p = 6.0 × 10–3) and Million Veteran Program (OR = 1.5, 95% CI 1.2–1.8, p = 1.8 × 10−4).
