Official title
Phenotypic Manifestations of Hereditary ATTR Amyloidosis Val50Met Variant in a Non-endemic Area. Descriptive Study
Overview
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.
Interventions
- Other A complete physical examination of all body systems, including height and body weight
These interventions will be carried out in a time-controlled population within a family cluster of VAL50MET - Other Neurological examination includes motor strength testing; sensory testing with pinprick, light touch, temperature, and proprioception; deep tendon reflexes; and gait assessment.
These interventions will be carried out in a time-controlled population within a family cluster of VAL50MET - Diagnostic test Electrocardiogram (12-lead ECG)
These interventions will be carried out in a time-controlled population within a family cluster of VAL50MET - Diagnostic test 24-Hour Holter Monitoring
These interventions will be carried out in a time-controlled population within a family cluster of VAL50MET - Diagnostic test Color Doppler echocardiography with "two-dimensional strain" (longitudinal strain)
These interventions will be carried out in a time-controlled population within a family cluster of VAL50MET - Other The Norfolk Quality of Life-Diabetic Neuropathy (QOL-DN)
These interventions will be carried out in a time-controlled population within a family cluster of VAL50MET - Other questionnaire, the NIS-LL (Neuropathy Impairment Score in the Lower Limbs)
These interventions will be carried out in a time-controlled population within a family cluster of VAL50MET - Other COMPASS-31 (Composite Autonomic Symptom Score-31)
These interventions will be carried out in a time-controlled population within a family cluster of VAL50MET - Diagnostic test Electromyogram (EMG)
These interventions will be carried out in a time-controlled population within a family cluster of VAL50MET - Diagnostic test [99mTc]Tc-DPD scintigraphy
These interventions will be carried out in a time-controlled population within a family cluster of VAL50MET
