ATTR in the family

If you have hereditary amyloidosis and your child does not inherit the variant, they cannot develop the disease and they cannot pass it on to their own children. However, if your child does inherit the variant from you, they can pass it on to their children even if they never develop the disease themselves.

Dr Carol Whelan holds the position of Consultant at the National Amyloidosis Centre. Having worked with the hATTR community for years, her videos here explain a bit more about the symptoms, care, and the potential hereditary nature of this condition.
