The Gly103Arg variant in hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis
The Gly103Arg variant is unique to the Chinese population, frequently occurring in southern China. The main clinical manifestations are blurred vision, vitreous opacity, and neuropathy, with cardiopathy being rare. ATTRv should be considered if a patient diagnosed with CIDP does not respond to related therapy. Abdominal fat biopsy is a convenient and accurate diagnostic method.
