Abstract
Among the 42 human amyloidoses described to date the so-called systemic tranthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR amyloidosis), which comprises hereditary forms (more than 140 variants in accordance with the number of identified mutations in the transthyretin gene) and a sporadic form without structural changes in the gene and the protein, is of particular interest. This review summarizes modern understandings of pathogenesis of ATTR amyloidosis. The symptoms of different forms of ATTR amyloidosis, issues of early diagnosis, differential diagnosis (including within the group of amyloidoses), advanced therapy and prognosis are considered. Special attention is given to the non-mutant form of ATTR amyloidosis (ATTRwt amyloidosis), the so-called senile amyloidosis, which significantly complicates the course of underlying pathologies in the age group older than 70 years and is still poorly diagnosed. A quite high occurrence of ATTRwt amyloidosis makes it to be considered as a socially significant disease.
