A hereditary generalized amyloidosis due to transthyretin amyloid deposition. Protein fibrils can form in different tissues leading to amyloid polyneuropathies, amyloidotic cardiomyopathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, systemic senile amyloidosis. The disease includes leptomeningeal amyloidosis that is characterized by primary involvement of the central nervous system. Neuropathologic examination shows amyloid in the walls of leptomeningeal vessels, in pia arachnoid, and subpial deposits. Some patients also develop vitreous amyloid deposition that leads to visual impairment (oculoleptomeningeal amyloidosis). Clinical features include seizures, stroke-like episodes, dementia, psychomotor deterioration, variable amyloid deposition in the vitreous humor. Defects in TTR are a cause of hyperthyroxinemia dystransthyretinemic euthyroidal (HTDE) [MIM:145680. It is a condition characterized by elevation of total and free thyroxine in healthy, euthyroid persons without detectable binding protein abnormalities. Defects in TTR are a cause of carpal tunnel syndrome type 1 (CTS1) [MIM:115430. It is a condition characterized by entrapment of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. Symptoms include burning pain and paresthesias involving the ventral surface of the hand and fingers which may radiate proximally. Impairment of sensation in the distribution of the median nerve and thenar muscle atrophy may occur. This condition may be associated with repetitive occupational trauma, wrist injuries, amyloid neuropathies, rheumatoid arthritis. Function TTHY_HUMAN Thyroid hormone-binding protein. Probably transports thyroxine from the bloodstream to the brain. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Transthyretin (TTR) amyloidogenesis inhibitors are typically composed of two aromatic rings and a linker. We have previously established optimal structures for one aromatic ring and the linker. Herein, we employ a suboptimal linker and an optimal aryl-X substructure to rank order the desirability of aryl-Z substructuresusing a library of 56 N-(3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)benzamides. Coconsideration of amyloid inhibition potency and ex vivo plasma TTR binding selectivity data reveal that 2,6, 2,5, 2, 3,4,5, and 3,5 substituted aryls bearing small substituents generate the most potent and selective inhibitors, in descending order. These benzamides generally lack undesirable thyroid hormone receptor binding and COX-1 inhibition activity. Three high-resolution TTR.inhibitor crystal structures (1.31-1.35 A) provide insight into why these inhibitors are potent and selective, enabling future structure-based design of TTR kinetic stabilizers.
