Molecular strategies in genetic diagnosis of transthyretin-related hereditary amyloidosis.
Transthyretin-related hereditary (TTR) amyloidoses represent a clinically heterogeneous group of diseases associated with various point mutations of the TTR gene. We propose a molecular strategy for the diagnosis of this group of disorders.
