Located on chromosome 18, the TTR gene encodes the transthyretin protein, a transport protein in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid that carries the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) and retinol-binding protein bound to retinol. Mutations in the TTR gene may lead to several forms of amyloidosis.Wikipedia

Three such mutations account for roughly 50 - 80% of all TTR-related hereditary amyloidosis cases; these are:

  • rs76992529: aka VI122I, most common in African Americans and people of West African descent
  • rs28933979: aka V30M, most common in people of Portuguese, Northern Swedish, and Japanese descent
  • rs121918070: aka T60A, most common in people of Irish and British descent.
