Scientists hunt for early warning signs of a silent killer
NCT ID NCT03431896
Summary
This study aimed to understand how a serious inherited disease called hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis begins. Researchers followed 37 people who carry the disease gene but had no symptoms, tracking a specific protein in their blood over five years. The goal was to see if this protein could serve as an early warning sign before organ damage occurs.
