Hereditary ATTR Amyloidosis and Genetic Risk Factors

Genes are composed ofDNA, which is the blueprint for a person’s appearance and how their body works. A child inherits half of their genes from one biological parent and half from the other.

Most genes code for proteins, which are molecules that carry out vital functions in the body. If a gene is faulty ormutated, the coded protein can be structurally and functionally abnormal, leading to disease.

Transthyretin ProteinThe transthyretin protein is made in the liver and normally functions to transport thyroid hormone (thyroxine) and retinol (vitamin A).

Transthyretin Protein

The transthyretin protein is made in the liver and normally functions to transport thyroid hormone (thyroxine) and retinol (vitamin A).

In hereditary ATTR amyloidosis, the abnormal transthyretin protein forms clumps called “amyloid fibrils,” which deposit themselves within different tissues and organs throughout the body, causing harm and toxicity.

Hereditary ATTR amyloidosis isautosomal dominantly inherited, meaning if either parent has the disease, their child has a 50% risk of inheriting the faulty TTR gene.

That said, it’s important to understand that inheriting a TTR gene mutation does not always mean a person will develop symptoms or that the disease will severely affect them.

Currently, over 130 TTR gene mutations are linked to hereditary ATTR amyloidosis. Symptoms and disease impact vary depending on the TTR gene mutation inherited.

hATTR Amyloidosis and Life Expectancy

Symptoms of hATTR amyloidosis begin in adulthood and are progressive, meaning they worsen over time. If not treated, hATTR amyloidosis has an irreversible course and, on average, becomes fatal seven to 10 years after the onset of symptoms.

Diagnosis and Genetic Testing for hATTR Amyloidosis

Progressive hATTR Amyloidosis Symptoms

Symptoms of hATTR amyloidosis arise from the buildup of abnormal protein within various organs throughout the body. The protein buildup damages the organs, interfering with their normal functioning.

The most common sites of amyloid deposition are theperipheral nervous systemand the heart. Other organs, namely the gut, kidneys, eyes, and brain, may also be involved.

Peripheral Nervous System

The peripheral nervous system consists of nerves that communicate information between a person’s brain and spinal cord and the rest of their body (e.g., their limbs and internal organs).

Damage or inflammation of peripheral nerves (peripheral neuropathy) from amyloid deposits may cause prickling or burning pain, reduced temperature sensitivity, and tingling and numbness (paresthesia), often starting in the feet and lower limbs.

As the disease advances, symptoms, including muscle weakness, progress to the arms and trunk, and walking becomes impaired.

Theautonomic nervous system (ANS), which regulates body functions out of a person’s control (e.g., heartbeat and digestion), is also part of the peripheral nervous system and is commonly affected in hereditary ATTR amyloidosis.

Symptoms and signs of autonomic nervous system dysfunction include:

Heart

Amyloid deposits in the heart are mainly associated withpalpitationsand abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), especiallyatrial fibrillation.

Restrictive cardiomyopathy—stiffening of the heart due to amyloid fibrils infiltrating the heart muscle—is also common in hereditary amyloidosis.

Amyloid cardiomyopathy can eventually lead to heart failure, causing symptoms like:

Other Organs

Other potential symptoms of hereditary ATTR amyloidosis based on organ involvement include:

Types of Amyloidosis Symptoms

hATTR Amyloidosis Testing and Diagnosis

Several tests are performed to diagnose hATTR.

First,urine and/or blood testsare often ordered to check for amyloid protein.

Next, anabdominal fat pad biopsyis usually performed to confirm the presence of amyloid deposits.

Abdominal Fat Pad BiopsyThis procedure involves removing a small piece of fatty tissue below a person’s belly button. The tissue sample is sent to a laboratory where a Congo red stain is applied to identify amyloid material.

This procedure involves removing a small piece of fatty tissue below a person’s belly button. The tissue sample is sent to a laboratory where a Congo red stain is applied to identify amyloid material.

Imaging or other diagnostic testsmay also support the diagnosis of hATTR amyloidosis and evaluate for specific organ involvement. Examples of such tests include:

Lastly, agenetic blood testis performed to analyze the DNA sequence of the mutated TTR gene. The specific TTR gene mutation provides vital clues about which organs will likely be affected and, in some cases, how well a person may respond to a particular therapy.

Overall, identifying the exact TTR gene mutation is crucial in helping healthcare providers devise an individualized treatment plan.

Treatment for Neuropathy and Other hATTR Amyloidosis Symptoms

Hereditary amyloidosis is still considered an incurable disease, although various disease-modifying therapies are available to slow or potentially stop amyloid buildup within the body.

Gene-Silencing Therapies

TTR Stabilizers

Another TTR stabilizer—acoramidis—is currently being studied for the treatment of hATTR amyloidosis-related heart and nerve disease.

Organ Transplantation

Because the liver is the primary source of amyloid production, aliver transplantis another potential (albeit less favorable) treatment for hATTR amyloidosis.

The cells of the new liver have the donor’s genetic makeup without the mutated gene. Replacing a person’s liver with a new one removes the source of the mutated TTR protein, allowing for a significant reduction of amyloid in the body.

A liver transplant is a significant undertaking, and studies of its benefits are mixed. Research on people with hATTR amyloidosis has found an 85% survival rate (percentage of people alive) five years after a liver transplant and 73% 10 years after a transplant.

Lastly, depending on amyloid-related damage to the heart, aheart transplantalone (or in combination with a liver) may also be considered.

Management and Supportive Care

Besides disease-modifying therapies, there is a vast array of supportive treatments that can improve the quality of life and symptoms in individuals living with hATTR amyloidosis.

For example, nerve pain associated with hATTR amyloidosis can be eased with prescription medication, such as:

In some cases, depending on the organ involved, surgery might be considered. For instance, avitrectomy(removal of the liquid gel that fills the eye cavity) can be performed in people with eye floaters related to amyloidosis.

Adopting specific eating patterns (e.g., avoiding fatty foods and eating small, frequent meals) can be helpful for digestive symptoms, such as diarrhea or early satiety.

Research Advancements and Future Directions

Besides gene-silencing therapies and TTR stabilizers, a therapeutic strategy being studied is usingmonoclonal antibodiesto remove amyloid deposits. The antibodies target pre-existing amyloid deposits, potentially allowing for the recovery of the involved organ.

Summary

hATTR amyloidosis is autosomal dominantly inherited, so a child has a 50% chance of inheriting the mutated TTR gene if either biological parent carries it. Besides genetic testing to detect the mutated TTR gene, tissue biopsies and urine, blood, and imaging tests can confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment of hATTR amyloidosis involves a combination of supportive therapies to manage symptoms and disease-modifying therapies to slow or stop the buildup of amyloid protein. Clinical trials of monoclonal antibodies to remove amyloid fibrils as well as gene-editing technologies to correct the faulty TTR gene are underway.
