13 Sep, 2019 New Evidence Demonstrating Significant Association of V122I TTR Gene Mutation with Clinical Diagnosis of Polyneuropathy

We presented new results from an analysis of the UK Biobank demonstrating a significant association of the V122I mutation, a highly prevalent mutation in the transthyretin (TTR) gene, with a clinical diagnosis of polyneuropathy. These results were presented at the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) 23^rd Annual Scientific Meeting, held September 13-16 in Philadelphia, PA.
