Left ventricular hypertrophy is a common entity with a broad differential diagnosis. We present a case of a middle-aged woman with left ventricular hypertrophy and neuropathy caused by a rare transthyretin variant in the absence of a family history or regional reports of hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis. This report outlines the diagnosis and management of patients with a mixed phenotype of hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis and enriches clinical data supporting the pathogenicity of a rare variant of transthyretin.
