Phenotypic Manifestations of Hereditary ATTR Amyloidosis

Conditions
Hereditary Amyloidosis, Transthyretin-Related
Registration Number
NCT07124377
Lead Sponsor
Hospital 9 de Julio de Las Breñas
Brief Summary

This study focuses on hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) with the Val50Met variant in a non endemic aerea

Detailed Description

We aim to describe the phenotypic variables including preclinical, cardiological, neurological, and mixed manifestations in patients carrying the Val50Met variant. Our goal is to identify early disease onset criteria in initially asymptomatic patients, enhancing early detection and treatment strategies. Participants will undergo various clinical examinations and tests to gather comprehensive data.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Describe the phenotypic variables (preclinical, cardiological, neurological and mixed) in patients carrying the TTR Val50Met variant in a non-endemic population.2 years

The predominantly cardiac phenotype includes patients with abnormal ECG due to rhythm disturbance, heart failure, or dyspnea, minimal neurologic or GI symptoms, and diagnostic findings such as interventricular septum hypertrophy (\>12 mm), Holter monitoring, and \[99mTc\]Tc-DPD scintigraphy (Peugerini Score 1-3).

The predominantly neurologic phenotype features patients with ongoing neurologic or GI symptoms definitively linked to ATTR amyloidosis, without abnormal ECG findings. Key assessments include autonomic neuropathy (orthostatic hypotension, sexual dysfunction), EMG, Norfolk QoL-DN (-4-246), COMPASS-31 (0-100), and NIS-LL (0-88).

The mixed phenotype includes patients with abnormal ECG and neurologic or GI symptoms of any severity, failing to meet criteria for predominantly cardiac or neurologic phenotypes.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Explore minimum criteria considered for the onset of disease in patients carrying the Val50Met variant initially identified as asymptomatic.2 years

Minimum criteria for disease onset include: (1) one quantified symptom or sign definitively related to the disease, such as sensorimotor neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, cardiac involvement, or renal/ocular involvement; (2) any symptom probably related with one abnormal test finding; or (3) absence of symptoms with two abnormal test findings.
