About this study
Official title: Genetic Screening of an At-risk Population for Hereditary TransthyRetin-related AMyloidosis and Longitudinal Monitoring of TTR Positive Subjects- A Multicenter Epidemiological Longitudinal Protocol
National, multicenter, epidemiological, longitudinal protocol to investigate the hATTR prevalence in an at-risk population for Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis (hATTR) and subjects diagnosed with hATTR, to monitor the clinical status in TTR positive subjects and to establish hATTR biomarker/s
Read the detailed description
Hereditary TransThyRetin Amyloidosis (hATTR) is a slowly progressive condition, that is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait and is characterized by abnormal extracellular deposits of fibrillar, misfolded proteins (amyloid fibrils) in the body. Amyloid fibrils can be deposited in different body compartments, such as the nerves, heart, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and brain, causing severe structural changes. More than 30 proteins can trigger the formation of amyloid fibrils, 5 of which can infiltrate the heart and cause cardiac amyloidosis.
One of these amyloidogenic protein is transthyretin, formerly known as prealbumin. Transthyretin (TTR) is found primarily in the serum (secreted by the liver) and cerebrospinal fluid (secreted by the choroid plexus) and functions as a carrier for the hormone thyroxine (T4) and retinol-binding protein (bound to retinol or vitamin A). The destabilization of the TTR protein and the formation of misfolded TTR.
It is the goal of this study to investigate the prevalence of Hereditary Transthyretin-related Amyloidosis (hATTR) in a cohort of 5.000 subjects are at risk for Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis (hATTR) and subjects diagnosed with hATTR, to monitor the clinical status in TTR positive subjects and to establish hATTR biomarker/s.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Participants at risk for hATTR and participants diagnosed with hATTR | Participants 18 years of age or older |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Analysis of prevalance of hATTR mutations among a cohort of participants at risk for hATTR.
DBS-based genetic analyses of TTR gene will be perfomed via the combination of the Next-Generation Sequencing (the mutation will be confirmed by Sanger sequencing) and the Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification.
Measured: 4 years
To monitor clinical status in TTR positive subjects.
8 Follow up visits within 24 months
Measured: 4 years
Secondary outcomes (1)
Establishment of biomarker/s in TTR positive cohort.
hATTR-positive samples will be analyzed for the identification of potential biomarkers (based on MS/MS-Tandem spectroscopy) and compared with the merged control samples in order establish a HAE specific biomarker.
Measured: 4 years
