rs76992529, also known as V122I, Val122Ile, V142I or Val142Ile, is a mutation in the transthyretin TTR gene. This risk allele for this SNP, rs76992529(A), is found primarily in people of African ancestry, and may be found in up to 4% of African-Americans.
A person with one or two copies of the (A) allele of this SNP is at significantly higher (by about 2 - 3 fold) risk of developing cardiac amyloidosis, in which levels of the transthyretin protein build up and can lead to heart failure, especially with increasing age.
This SNP is also known as i3002759 and i6019130 within 23andMe data.
