Data are absolute numbers (percentage), mean ± standard deviation, or median [interquartile range]. Cardiac symptoms are defined as coronary artery disease, dyspnoea, heart failure, myocardial infarction, rhythm disturbances, and syncope. Neurologic symptoms include balance abnormalities, muscle weakness, neuropathic pain/paresthesia, numbness, temperature or pain insensitivity, tingling, walking disability.

ATTR, transthyretin- amyloidosis; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; mBMI, modified body mass index.

aP-values are With vs. Without Biomarker data

bP-values are Val30Met vs. non-Val30Met.

cP-values are early onset vs. late onset.

The bonferroni corrected p-value adjusting for nine comparisons is 0.005556.
