We aimed to provide a systematic description of a population of individuals carrying pathogenic mutations of transthyretin (TTR) gene and to investigate the major clinical events during follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This was an observational, retrospective, cohort study including consecutive patients with mutations of TTR gene, admitted to a tertiary referral centre in Bologna, Italy, between 1984 and 2022. Three hundred twenty-five patients were included: 106 asymptomatic carriers, 49 cardiac phenotype, 49 neurological phenotype, and 121 mixed phenotype. Twenty-two different mutations were found, with Ile68Leu (41.8%), Val30Met (19%), and Glu89Gln (10%) being the most common. After a median follow-up of 51 months, 111 patients (38.3%) died and 9 (11.5%) of the 78 asymptomatic carriers developed ATTRv. Carriers had a prognosis comparable with healthy population, while no significant differences were seen among the three phenotypes adjusted by age. Age at diagnosis, New York Heart Association class III, left ventricular ejection fraction, modified polyneuropathy disability score IV, and disease-modifying therapy were independently associated with survival.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study offers a wide and comprehensive overview of ATTRv from the point of view of a tertiary referral centre in Italy. Three main phenotypes can be identified (cardiac, neurological, and mixed) with specific clinical and instrumental features. Family screening programmes are essential to identify paucisymptomatic affected patients or unaffected carriers of the mutation, to be followed through the years. Lastly, disease-modifying therapy represents an evolving cornerstone of the management of ATTRv, with a great impact on mortality.<\/jats:p>\n
