Systemic amyloidosis from A (AA) to T (ATTR): a review

Journal of Internal Medicine, 2020
Systemic amyloidosis is a rare protein misfolding and deposition disorder leading to progressive organ failure. There are over 15 types of systemic amyloidosis, each caused by a different precursor protein which promotes amyloid formation and tissue ...

Cardiac transplantation in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Outcomes from three decades of tertiary center experience

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
AimsTransthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) is a progressive and fatal cardiomyopathy. Treatment options in patients with advanced ATTR-CM are limited to cardiac transplantation (CT).

A novel hotspot of gelsolin instability and aggregation propensity triggers a new mechanism of amyloidosis [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
The multidomain protein gelsolin (GSN) is composed of six homologous modules, sequentially named G1 to G6. Single point substitutions in this protein are responsible for AGel amyloidosis, a hereditary disease characterized by progressive corneal lattice dystrophy, cutis laxa, and polyneuropathy. Several different amyloidogenic variants of GSN have been

Inotersen Treatment for Patients with Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis

New England Journal of Medicine, 2018
BACKGROUND Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis is caused by pathogenic single‐nucleotide variants in the gene encoding transthyretin (TTR) that induce transthyretin misfolding and systemic deposition of amyloid. Progressive amyloid accumulation leads to

Citrate stabilized gold nanoparticles interfere with amyloid fibril formation: D76N and ΔN6 \b{eta}2-microglobulin variants [PDF]

Nanoscale, 2018, 10, 4793, 2018
Protein aggregation including the formation of dimers and multimers in solution, underlies an array of human diseases such as systemic amyloidosis which is a fatal disease caused by misfolding of native globular proteins damaging the structure and function of affected organs.

Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Approaches to Cardiac Amyloidosis.

Circulation Research, 2021
Often considered a rare disease, cardiac amyloidosis is increasingly recognized by practicing clinicians. The increased rate of diagnosis is in part due the aging of the population and increasing incidence and prevalence of cardiac amyloidosis with ...

Evaluation of a new ELISA assay for monoclonal free‐light chain detection in patients with cardiac amyloidosis

eJHaem, 2022
The causal protein of amyloid light‐chain (AL) amyloidosis is a monoclonal immunoglobulin free light chain (mFLC), which must be quantified in the serum for patient diagnosis and monitoring.

The structure of N184K amyloidogenic variant of gelsolin highlights the role of the H-bond network for protein stability and aggregation properties [PDF]

Eur Biophys J. 2019 Nov 13, 2019
Mutations in the gelsolin protein are responsible for a rare conformational disease known as AGel amyloidosis. Four of these mutations are hosted by the second domain of the protein (G2): D187N/Y, G167R and N184K. The impact of the latter has been so far evaluated only by studies on the isolated G2.
