The TTR V142I variant (previously known as V122I), associated with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR), is the most common TTR variant worldwide, with recent prevalence estimates of 1 in 330 individuals (1). Up to 4% of African American (AAs) in the US are heterozygous for V142I (ie, V142I+)(2), which, in part, is thought to explain the observation that cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is four times more common among AA than European descent patients over 60 years of age (3).. Non-cardiac clinical features of hATTR such as carpal tunnel syndrome, spinal stenosis and polyneuropathy (“red flags”) can precede CA by several years, and have been observed in undiagnosed V142I+ individuals absent heart failure (HF) symptoms (4). Nevertheless, the clinical diagnosis of hATTR in V142I+ individuals is typically only made after they develop overt CA and HF.Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a lipocalin retinol carrier that binds 1: 1 with transthyretin in serum, functioning as an endogenous transthyretin stabilizer (5). Circulating RBP4 levels depend on the interaction of RBP4 and transthyretin, and are reduced in hATTR. RBP4 levels have been shown to discriminate between V142I CA and non-CA HF in AA patients 60 years or older when integrated with other clinical parameters (6). However, RBP4 has not been studied in undiagnosed or younger V142I+ individuals without CA to inform preclinical hATTR. Here, we hypothesized that RBP4 levels would differentiate younger undiagnosed V142I+ individuals without overt CA from V142I-individuals, indicating circulating destabilized transthyretin and potentially enabling earlier risk prediction for hATTR.
