Abstract excerpt
We report a patient with familial amyloid polyneuropathy. Gene analysis revealed a heterozygous Glu54Gly substitution (A-to-G change) in the transthyretin gene. This is the first case of a Glu54Gly substitution that was devoid of a Gly6Ser substitution. Compared with the previously reported case with compound heterozygotes of Glu54Gly and Gly6Ser, the age of onset in our case is much younger and another...
