Abstract excerpt
Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1), the predominant isotype of acute phase SAA in plasma and the predominant precursor of fibrillar deposits in reactive amyloidosis, is encoded by a gene, for which six allelic variants have been described. Recent studies proposed that the allele SAA1.3 was positively correlated with the development of reactive amyloidosis in Japanese. This study examined whether the plasma concentration of...
