The first case of familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP Met30) in the Finnish population.

Human heredity - 1 Jan 1992

Drugge U, Holmgren G, Udd B

Abstract excerpt

Finnish hereditary amyloidosis-Meretoja (FAP type 4) is the predominating type of hereditary amyloidosis in the Finnish population, found in more than 200 individuals. We present a Finnish family with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP Met30), a type of amyloidosis hitherto not described in the Finnish population. Genealogical tracing back to the 18th century revealed no connections with Swedish FAP...
