LIGHT CHAIN AMYLOIDOSIS [PDF]

Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2018
Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is caused by a usually small plasma-cell clone that is able to produce the amyloidogenic lights chains. They are able to misfold and aggregate, deposit in tissues in the form of amyloid fibrils and lead to irreversible organ ...

Emerging Therapeutics for the Treatment of Light Chain and Transthyretin Amyloidosis [PDF]

JACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2019
Summary: Cardiac amyloidosis is a restrictive cardiomyopathy that results from the deposition of misfolded light chain or transthyretin proteins, most commonly, in cardiac tissue.

An atypical cause of amyloidosis: a case of combined heavy and light chain amyloidosis [PDF]

BMC Nephrology
Background The International Society of Amyloidosis recognizes 15 types of kidney-related amyloidosis, with most studies identifying immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis as the leading cause in over half of these cases.

Light-chain amyloidosis with dysphagia as the main symptom: a case report [PDF]

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Background Immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis is a relatively rare condition with a worldwide incidence of 5.1–12.8 cases per million person-years (Baker, 2022).

Strong positive light chain immunostaining in a patient with transthyretin amyloidosis

Hematology, 2023
The two most common systemic amyloidosis types are immunoglobulin light chain (AL) and amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis, in which the precursor proteins responsible for amyloidosis are light chain and transthyretin, respectively.

Amyloid light-chain deposition in a schwannoma

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2021
Systemic amyloid light-chain amyloidosis is a protein misfolding disorder characterized by extracellular deposition of amyloid fibrils derived from abnormal clonal immunoglobulin light chains in various organ systems.

A Case of Localized Amyloid Light-Chain Amyloidosis in the Small Intestine [PDF]

Intestinal Research, 2014
Amyloidosis is characterized by the abnormal deposition of extracellular amyloid fibrils. Cases involving amyloid light-chain amyloidosis in the small intestine have been reported infrequently in Korea.

Restrictive Atrial Dysfunction in Cardiac Amyloidosis: Differences between Immunoglobulin Light Chain and Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis Patients

Biomedicines, 2022
Background: In cardiac amyloidosis, the prevalence of thromboembolic events and atrial fibrillation is higher in transthyretin amyloidosis compared to immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis.

Diverse patterns of antibody variable gene repertoire disruption in patients with amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis is the most common form of systemic amyloidosis. AL amyloidosis is caused by a misfolded light chain produced by a clonal population of plasma cells.

Biopsy Evidence of Sequential Transthyretin and Immunoglobulin Light-Chain Cardiac Amyloidosis in the Same Patient

JACC: Case Reports, 2021
Currently adopted diagnostic flow charts consider transthyretin and light-chain cardiac amyloidosis as mutually exclusive. Here, we report for the first time, to our knowledge, the demonstration of a biopsy-proven dual pathology in an 80-year-old man ...
