"[In summary, these studies have demonstrated the following: 1) plasma TTR levels are significantly decreased in Portuguese patients with FAP; 2) FAP-TTR is indistinguishable from normal TTR with regard to a wide range of physiochemical properties; 3) RBP levels and vitamin A transport appear to be normal in FAP patients; 4) an abnormal TTR with a methionine for valine substitution at position 30 is found as amyloid protein in tissues of patients with FAP; and 5) this abnormal TTR is present in small amounts in plasma of patients with FAP.].
