Transthyretin (TTR) gene mutations are the most common cause of hereditary amyloidosis. Valine replaced by isoleucine in position 122 (V122I) variant is common, particularly in the black population. V122I carriers have increased risk for developing cardiac amyloidosis. Despite a relatively high prevalence, the penetrance of V122I is not firmly established. This study sought to determine the prevalence of clinically apparent cardiac amyloidosis among carriers of the TTR V122I variant.
