Review findings from the UK Biobank presented recently at the Peripheral Nerve Society meeting, revealing that naturally low transthyretin (TTR) levels are associated with a higher prevalence of cardiovascular biomarkers, such as NT-proBNP, and comorbidities, including peripheral arterial disease, stroke, and cognitive decline. The data suggest that low TTR may serve as a marker of broader systemic illness, both in patients with TTR amyloidosis and in the general population.
