Abstract
Objective. The aim of present study was to identify transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR amyloidosis) in a selected cohort of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and establish the mutations spectrum of the transthyretin gene. Methods and Results. 257 patients with CHF have been examined. Clinical examination, immunochemical staining and genetic analysis were performed. Mutations V30M, H90N, N98N, G6S and deletion (del9) in the TTR gene have been detected. Conclusion. In the studied cohort of patients with heart failure found a relatively high frequency of mutations of the transthyretin gene. We assume that it is important to improve the diagnostics of TTR-related familial amyloidosis in Russia.
