Abstract excerpt
Light chain deposition disease (LCDD) and light chain amyloidosis (AL) are disorders of monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition in which normally soluble serum precursors form insoluble deposits in tissues. A common feature in both is the clonal proliferation of B-cells that produce pathogenic light chains. However, the deposits in LCDD differ from those in AL in that they are ultrastructurally granular rather than...
