Case Report: A rare homozygous patient affected by TTR systemic amyloidosis with a prominent heart involvement.

Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis is a severe, adult-onset autosomal dominant inherited systemic disease predominantly affecting the peripheral and autonomic nervous system, heart, kidney, and the eyes. We present a case of a Caucasian 65-year-old man with cardiac amyloidosis and the homozygous mutation Val142Ile (classically, Val122Ile) in the transthyretin gene. We provide a genotype-phenotype correlation regarding the genetic status of both heterozygous and homozygous individuals and their clinical conditions at the time of genetic testing.
