Amyloidogenic transthyretin amyloidosis Report

The Amyloidogenic transthyretin amyloidosis test analyzes all common and rare variants associated with Amyloidogenic transthyretin amyloidosis disease. Transthyretin amyloidosis is a slowly progressive condition characterized by the buildup of abnormal deposits of a protein called amyloid (amyloidosis) in the body's organs and tissues. These protein deposits most frequently occur in the peripheral nervous system, which is made up of nerves connecting the brain and spinal cord to muscles and sensory cells that detect sensations such as touch, pain, heat, and sound. Protein deposits in these nerves result in a loss of sensation in the extremities (peripheral neuropathy). The autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary body functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, and digestion, may also be affected by amyloidosis. Along with environmental factors, Genetics plays a key role in the regulation of Amyloidogenic transthyretin amyloidosis. - 5 genes analyzed - 100% genomic region
