- Introduction: Hereditary transthyretin (ATTRv) amyloidosis is of autosomal dominant transmission, caused by a spectrum of mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene. The ATTRV30M (p.Val50Met) is the most frequent substitution in Europe. Northern Sweden is a known cluster for ATTRV30M amyloidosis patients due to high prevalence of the mutation rate, with homozygous cases. First symptoms occur generally during the 6th decade. Previous studies reported low penetrance in this area and possible anticipation in families. In order to refine our knowledge of the genetic aspects, penetrance and factors that influence the disease’s risk, we performed a comprehensive study of ATTRV30M families in Sweden.Methods: To assess anticipation, well-established age at onset (AO) was compared in all informative parent-offspring pairs and in subgroups, after excluding ascertainment biases. Penetrance was estimated using a non-parametric method that enables to study covariates’ effect on the disease’s risk.Results: We analysed 114 ATTRV30M Swedish families, including 12 homozygous individuals. Among 131 parent-offspring pairs, we found an average anticipation of 11.7 [Standard Deviation (SD) =10.03] years, higher in case of maternal transmission (mean ± SD = 13.7 ± 8.4 years), compared to paternal transmission (mean ± SD = 7.9 ± 11.5 years, p < .003). Anticipation remained significant, after exclusion of ascertainment biases. In heterozygous ATTRV30M kindred, penetrance was low, estimated below 10% [95% confidence interval (CI) = 6–10] at 40 years-old, increasing to 71% [95% CI= 65–76] at age 90 years. The risk was found to be higher in male patients (p < .01) and in case of maternal transmission (p < .01), reflecting a parent of origin effect. We observed no difference of penetrance according the geographical origin. Finally, the disease risk was similar in heterozygous and homozygous ATTRV30M amyloidosis individuals.Conclusions: Our study provides new data on the genetics of ATTRV30M families in Sweden, including the occurrence of anticipation and on penetrance. Both are increased in case of maternal inheritance and in male patients. Overall, gender seems to be a factor that substantially modulates the AO of the disease, in this area. Clinically, these findings are of importance to guide the management of sibships and the monitoring of mutation carriers.
